Sensible attorneys would have done what you described. Trump’s Defense seems more interested in creating grounds for appeal than getting a not-guilty verdict.

Now the jury is going to rationize that Trump deserves punishment for preying on a poor little professional sex worker. I want the cross examination to include this:

With how men and women have you have engaged in sexual relations during your lifetime —an order of magnitude will do? Hundreds? Thousands? Have you ever lied under oath or signed a false statement? Do you recognize this statement in which you state that you never had an “affair” (meaning a sexual encounter) with Trump? Is it correct that in previous statements on video, you said you signed this letter. Why did you sign it? Your testimony today directly contradicts your signed statement. Which time are you lying? Did you testify five minutes ago that you have never signed a false statement? How could anyone believe anything you say?

Then ask the judge to strike her testimony from the record and instruct the jury to remove it from their minds.

Not sure there is enough bleach in the world to remove just seeing that thing's presence from my mind, let alone the jury's.
