(7,631 posts)1) Trump denies sex occurred. Her testimony to the details of the event is evidence to the fact that the event DID occur. The payoff is the matter at issue, but Trump claiming the act did not occur is an attack on her credibility which IS defensible.
2) It could even go so far as describing genetalia. Daniels' "mushroom" description could be evidence of an actual sexual act if Trump's tiny knob IS in fact mushroom-like.
3) It's Trump's lawyers' job to object to testimony, not the Prosecutor's, or the judges. If they did not object to testimony when it was given, it's difficult to argue later than it should cause a mistrial, because all the judge reviewing the case has to ask is "why didn't you object to the testimony?" "I made a mistake." is not a reversible reason.
