Ben Roethlisberger’s Name Gets Dragged Through the Mud During High Profile Donald Trump Trial

Ben Roethlisberger is undoubtedly one of the most decorated QBs of his generation, but off the field, his reputation isn’t as stellar as a Steelers fan would hope. His involvement in two separate sexual allegations tarnished his image, and these incidents are brought up even today. But recently, he made the news for a completely different reason, one that involved former US President Donald Trump.

Roethlisberger’s name has now popped up twice involving the ex-President of the USA, Donald Trump. The trial involves an investigation into accusations against Trump that he had paid hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair before the elections in 2016.

During the trial, a key witness, Trump’s ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, took the stand, and his testimony wasn’t very pleasant. He testified that Trump himself made a statement about Roethlisberger in context to the Stormy Daniels situation, claiming that Daniels prefers men like him over Super Bowl-winning QBs like Big Ben.

“Women prefer Mr. Trump even over someone like Big Ben,” Cohen quoted Trump’s words, as per CNN.
