MSNBC analyst Renato Mariotti said Tuesday that female jurors who’ve been appointed to participate in Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan don’t have to be porn stars to relate to Stormy Daniels’ experience with the former president.
“Not everybody is an adult entertainment artist, but everybody, and particularly women, have experiences with power dynamics,” Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, said during a panel discussion on “MSNBC Reports.” “People — whoever you are — have the experience of being taken advantage by somebody who’s more powerful than you.”
Mariotti was answering a question about how the gender demographics of the jury, which includes seven men and five women, could impact jurors’ reactions to Trump and Daniels’ respective testimony and potentially the result of the trial.
