In the documentary, Daniels reveals why she didn’t turn down the billionaire mogul’s request for s– during their meeting decades ago.

As a result of the documentary, Trump’s lawyers have argued that Stormy Daniels’ upcoming trial should be delayed or dismissed.

They also mentioned that the documentary “reflects a concerted effort to prejudice the venue, which the People are undoubtedly aware of but fail to reveal.”
