In a recent ruling, Justice Merchan denied former President Donald Trump's request to subpoena documents from Stormy Daniels, Cohen, Karen McDougal, Elizabeth Jean Cartoll, Jessica Leeds, and Natasha Stoynoff in a trial concerning alleged hush money payments. Trump's legal team argued that the documents would reveal bias and prior inconsistent statements by Daniels, which they believed were crucial for cross-examination. However, the judge deemed the subpoena request 'overbroad' and unrelated to the subject matter of the case.
