Donald Trump's defence team claims Stormy Daniels' statement keeps changing because ‘it never happened’
Hindustan TimesThe defence team for former US President Donald Trump has said that pornstar Stormy Daniels’ story on the alleged sexual encounter with Trump keeps on changing because “it never happened.” Former U.S. President Donald Trump sits next to an image of "Think Big", book by Bill Zanker and Donald Trump, during his criminal trial on charges that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, in Manhattan state court in New York City, U.S., May 9, 2024 in this courtroom sketch. Another statement denying a sexual relationship with Trump was also presented, stating, “I’m denying this affair because it never happened.” Daniels said that Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, pushed her to the edge to sign that document. Daniels made up the story: Trump's team Necheles confronted Daniels with a past interview with In Touch, alleging, “You told In Touch a completely different story”, to which Daniels replied, admitting there were some “parts in the middle I didn’t remember”. Daniels cited a lawyer friend who once told her, “If you’re out in the open, you’re safer.” Daniels’ 2018 lawsuit against the former president challenged the validity of the NDA due to Trump’s missing signature.
