A judge on Tuesday denied former President Donald Trump‘s request for a mistrial in his hush money case, which Trump made after pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels delivered salacious testimony that tested the limits the court had placed on what she could say.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche told Judge Juan Merchan that Daniels’s testimony differed from the “consensual encounter with President Trump that she was trying to sell” in 2016, according to CNN’s reports from the courtroom.

“But now we’ve heard it, and it is an issue. How can you unring the bell?” Blanche asked, calling her testimony “extraordinarily prejudicial.”

Daniels took the stand as a witness in Trump’s trial and spoke in detail about an alleged sexual encounter she had with Trump. The extent of the detail she provided prompted Merchan to scold prosecutors at one point for soliciting gratuitous remarks.
