AP is live at a courthouse in New York as Stormy Daniels returns to the witness stand in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the former president that she was eventually paid to keep quiet about during the 2016 presidential election.
Daniels replied that the experience with Trump was different from porn for a number of reasons — including the fact that Trump was more than twice her age, larger than her and that she was not expecting to find him undressed when she emerged from the bathroom.Print “I’ve maintained that in every interview — that we never actually ate,” she said during an extended exchange on the dinner details, and explained: “Having dinner, at least from where I’m from, doesn’t necessarily mean you have to put food in your mouth. You’re going to someone’s house for dinner, it’s dinnertime.
“The house had some very unexplained activity. We brought in experts, people to measure the electromagnetic fields, religious experts, scientists,” she said. “A lot of the activity was completely debunked as a giant possum that was under the house.” “Show me where I said I’d be instrumental in putting President Trump in jail,” the witness said, steady and unflustered.
Necheles noted that by then, Trump wasn’t running for election — an apparent effort to buttress the defense’s argument that the then president’s reasons for wanting to squelch the claims weren’t related to his political ambitions, but rather to protecting his family and reputation.Necheles is running through the finer points of Daniels’ nondisclosure agreement with Cohen, asking the witness to confirm that she agreed to specific highlighted portions of the document.
With Daniels set to retake the stand on Thursday, a far larger share of the public has amassed outside 100 Centre Street, along with new ranks of media from the U.S. and abroad. A few minutes before 8 a.m., as the complex system of lines swelled to its longest point since the start of the trial, court officers said they had no choice but to turn people away.
