Tuesday about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump, prompting Judge Juan Merchan to admonish the prosecution for not doing more to rein in her answers. The judge later chastised the defense after Trump had been cursing and shaking his head during her testimony.

Necheles asked if those actions made Daniels feel like she had to have sex with him. Daniels said Trump didn't give her drugs or alcohol and he didn't have a weapon, but she still felt like she didn't have a choice.Legal trials involving disputed claims of sex have historically involved defense attorneys cross-examining survivors on the way they’ve changed their stories over time and highlighting any inconsistencies.

"I never actually got my food … that has not changed," Daniels said after she was pressed about comments she made to CNN years ago. Necheles pressed Daniels again, saying Daniels recalled that the first time she met Trump was on the golf course, and that he kept looking at her and asked for her number.She said later about the article in In Touch, “This is an entertainment magazine, it is very short and frivolous.”Trump attorney Susan Necheles asked Stormy Daniels about her experience in the adult film industry. Daniels said she directed 150 sex films"give or take."Daniels replied, “Wow.

Through all the questions about what Daniels was selling, Necheles reaches her ultimate conclusion: That a large part of her income comes from her story about Trump and her claiming credit for his legal predicament.Trump lawyer Susan Necheles showed Stormy Daniels a tweet she had re-tweeted in which someone called her a"human toilet" and wrote"Exactly! Making me the best person to flush the orange turd down."Daniels said it was hyperbole.

She maintained she was not “selling herself to a new demographic” but was “doing the same job she always did.”After pressing Daniels on the centerpiece of the book she wrote, Trump lawyer Susan Necheles asked her about the tour of strip clubs she went on that was dubbed “Make America Horny Again” — a play on words referencing Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.

“No, I never asked for money from anyone in particular, I asked for money to tell my story,” she said.
