Stormy Daniels Wants Trump 'To Be Held Accountable,' Go To Jail: Former President's Lawyers Call For Mistrial Over 'Extraordinarily Prejudicial Testimony'
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Stormy Daniels testified against Donald Trump in a criminal trial, alleging he falsified business records to hide payments made to her. Daniels discussed details of their encounter and expressed a desire for Trump to be held accountable and potentially face jail time. Trump's lawyers argued for a mistrial, citing prejudicial testimony, but the motion was denied. Daniels also mentioned a payment for the licensing rights to her story for a documentary on Peacock, owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA). Another Trump trial in Florida was postponed indefinitely.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Stormy Daniels testified she was paid $125,000 by Peacock, owned by Comcast Corporation, for the licensing rights to her story used in a documentary.
The mention of Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) in the context of a high-profile legal case could bring attention to the company's involvement in the documentary about Stormy Daniels. However, given the nature of the news and the broader context of the trial, the impact on CMCSA's stock price in the short term is likely neutral. The payment for the documentary rights is a factual statement without direct implications for Comcast's financial performance or market position.
