Donaldson Trial Reveals Shocking Claims

Donaldson Trial Reveals Shocking Claims

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:20

Jeffrey Donaldson’s trial is heating up as the court plays chilling audio from his police interviews, where he denies raping and assaulting two women over decades — despite pleading not guilty to all 18 charges. In one harrowing 4.5-hour session, he insists he only startled a girl with a flashlight, never touching her. His wife, Eleanor, faces separate charges for allegedly helping him — though she’s not in court now. Their marriage, he says, was crushed by his political obsession. Arrested last March, he stepped down as DUP leader and was suspended just weeks after leading the party back into Stormont — ending a two-year boycott. The jury is still listening as the case unfolds.
