On the thirteenth day of the trial against former President Donald Trump, adult film star Stormy Daniels took the stand to provide explicit details of her alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Daniels recounted the evening when she met Trump at a celebrity golf tournament and later visited his hotel room in Lake Tahoe.
During her testimony, Daniels described the interior of Trump’s hotel room, including the floors and furniture, as well as the contents of his toiletry bag in the bathroom. She vividly recreated the moment when Trump posed for her on the bed wearing only his underwear. Daniels also testified about the interest Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen had in buying her story following the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape just before the 2016 election.
The trial will resume on Thursday, with Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles set to continue questioning Daniels. The defense has accused Daniels of lying to obtain benefits and hating Trump, while Daniels maintained that she was simply telling her story. The judge denied Trump’s motion for a mistrial, stating that the testimony was probative of Trump’s intent and motive for paying hush money to Daniels.
Despite the tense atmosphere in the courtroom, Daniels remained defiant and steadfast in her testimony, refuting claims of extortion and maintaining that she was seeking accountability from Trump. The trial continues to captivate public interest as the salacious details of the alleged affair between Daniels and Trump unfold in court.
