Comedian Bill Maher trashed adult film star Stormy Daniels’ testimony against former President Donald Trump after he uncovered blatant contradictions from a past interview she gave with him.
During a panel discussion on his HBO show last Friday night, Maher played a clip from the interview where Daniels contradicted the claims she made on the witness stand in Trump’s criminal trial.
“She’s a bad witness!” Maher said.
In the clip, Stormy Daniels said she had a consensual affair with Trump, and never viewed herself as a #MeToo victim.
“You say it’s not a Me Too case,” Maher told Stormy in the interview.
“It’s not a Me Too case,” Stormy responded.
“I wasn’t assaulted. I wasn’t attacked, or raped, or coerced or blackmailed.”
“They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda,” she said.
“And first of all, I didn’t want to be part of that because it’s not the truth and I’m not a victim in that regard.”

Maher reacted to the clip, admitting Stormy’s past statements are “not what she’s saying now.”
“She’s talking about ‘he was bigger and blocking the way,'” Maher said.
“It’s all the Me Too buzzwords. She said, ‘There was an imbalance of power for sure.’ ‘My hands were shaking so hard,'” he added.
“She said she blacked out. Blacked out? She’s a porn star!” Maher continued.
“Do you really think she blacked out? A porn star is used to having sex with people she doesn’t [like] I just think she’s not a good witness,” Maher lamented to the panel.
Maher’s stance on the trial appears to have changed since two weeks ago, when he said it could “change the whole election,” Fox News notes.
“And by the way, if this goes that way and Trump loses, it’s going to change the whole election,” Maher said.
“A number of independents, a significant number, and Republicans say their vote will change if he is a convicted criminal. And he’ll look like a loser, not that he doesn’t already, but you know.”
“And Alvin Bragg is going to be the rising star of the Democratic Party because everyone said, ‘Not a good idea,’ including me. So, we’ll see,” he added.
