Stormy Daniels describes meeting Trump in occasionally graphic testimony

LA Times  

In this courtroom sketch, Stormy Daniels testifies as Judge Juan Merchan looks on in Manhattan criminal court Tuesday. Stormy Daniels took the witness stand Tuesday at former President Trump’s hush money trial, describing for jurors a sexual encounter the porn actor says she had with him in 2006 that resulted in her being paid off to keep silent during the presidential race 10 years later. “How can we come back from this in a way that’s fair to President Trump?” Judge Juan M. Merchan rejected the request and said defense lawyers should have raised more objections during the testimony. Led by a prosecutor’s questioning, Daniels described how an initial meeting at a golf tournament, where they discussed the adult film industry, progressed to a “brief” sexual encounter that she said Trump initiated after inviting her to dinner and back to his hotel suite. “It was to get the story out.” Necheles, the defense lawyer, zeroed in on that point, pressing Daniels on the fact that she owes Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees stemming from an unsuccessful defamation lawsuit and that she tweeted in 2022 that she “will go to jail before I pay a penny.” “That was me saying, ‘I will not pay for telling the truth,’” Daniels testified.
