Miss Merchant Grilled on Inconsistencies

In a riveting courtroom session, Miss Merchant faced intense scrutiny over alleged falsehoods in her testimony. The exchange between her and the judge shed light on discrepancies regarding Mr. Wade’s purported visits to her residence between 2019 and 2021.

Contradictions Unveiled
