I read the article but I think I might be a little too stoned rn, Just got the kiddo down for bed and boy was it a day. So I've loaded a fairly nice sized bowl. So what would the benefit of throwing out the entire testimony by the person if they lied? How would that be bad for Trump? I really don't think I understand.

Yes, the CFO of trump org pleaded guilty to lying in court and the judge is asking the trump attorneys if there is any reason why he shouldn't throw out testimony that's in favor of trump. Basically if there was something that had conflicting testimony he'd have to decide what the truth is, but now the judge can assume it was bullshit.

Tl;Dr the head finance guy for trump org is a liar and anything good he said in the trial is invalid.

I think that the big point here is that there are really very few people who can/will testify on Trump's behalf, and one of those people has lost all credibility.
