CNN host Kasie Hunt shook her head in exasperation Wednesday as Florida Congressman Rep. Cory Mills rattled off defenses for Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Mills, who accompanied the former president to the Manhattan criminal courtroom Tuesday, stuck to talking points that are frequently repeated by MAGA allies.
Mills tried to discredit adult movie star Stormy Daniels' testimony, claiming that she changed her story about if the sexual relationship actually happened several times.
He then went on to attack the prosecution’s star witness and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, dredging up his past admissions to lying and his conviction for tax evasion.
Both attacks are potential violations of a gag order which prevent Trump — or anybody acting on his behalf — from talking about witnesses in the case.

Mills then denied that the charges against Trump are legitimate. The ex-president is charged with 34 counts of business fraud involving hush money payments allegedly paid to an adult movie star he had a sexual relationship with.
Hunt got increasingly frustrated during the interview.
“Look, you've got a lot of details in there,” she said.
“And I think I just coming keep coming back to the big picture of this, which is, standing next to him, considering all of these things that have happened. I mean, do you think there'll ever come a time when you might regret having done that?”
“I don't,” he replied.
“And i've stood by the president since 2015, back when he first came down, back when I was hosting the first five international policy advisors that he had ever had, back when I was on his actual administration as a Secretary of Defense adviser.”
A clearly despairing Hunt shook her head. “Alright, Congressman Cory Mills,” she said as she ended the interview.
