Trump’s pal faces grilling

- Julia Marsh

Longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone is scheduled to testify at a defamation trial in Manhattan Supreme Court this week.

Stone, who ran “Manhattan Madam” Kristin Davis’ failed 2010 gubernator­ial campaign, told the Albany Times Union that he urged a group called People for a Safer New York to send a flier calling Libertaria­n candidate Warren Redlich a sexual “predator.”

Redlich is suing Stone and two other Trump backers, Carl Paladino and radio host Michael Caputo, for defamation. The trial starts Wednesday.

Redlich said: “I don’t think it’s really a question that calling someone a sex predator is defamatory.”

Attorneys for the defendants did not return calls for comment.
