Daniels’ testimony ‘irrelevant’ in Trump trial: Dupree
Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Tom Dupree, Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz join “The Faulkner Focus” to weigh in as Stormy Daniels takes the witness stand in the NY v. Trump trial.
FIRST ON FOX: The prosecutor from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office leading the questioning of adult film actress Stormy Daniels in former President Trump’s criminal trial had donated to President Biden’s campaign in 2020 and a number of other Democrat politicians and organizations over the years, Fox News Digital has learned.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Daniels on Tuesday as she testified as part of the unprecedented criminal trial of a former U.S. president.
Trump defense attorneys told Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday afternoon that they would motion for a mistrial amid Daniels’ “prejudicial” testimony. Hoffinger said the claim was without basis, and Merchan ultimately denied the defense’s request.

Hoffinger donated $500 to Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020: a donation of $250 in February 2020 and another donation of $250 in March 2020. She donated more than $900 to ActBlue during the 2020 cycle. ActBlue is an online fundraising platform for Democrat candidates, progressive organizations and nonprofits.
The prosecutor also donated to a number of other Democrat congressional campaigns in 2020 and 2018. Hoffinger was hired by Bragg’s office in 2022 after the political contributions were made.
The revelations come as Republicans investigate alleged politicization of the case against Trump.
“Joe Biden’s witch hunt against President Donald Trump happening in New York City is blatant election interference,” House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “The lead Democrat prosecutor is a donor to Joe Biden just like the judge.”
