Defense portrays Stormy Daniels as a money-hungry author of sex stories at Trump trialStormy Daniels, center, exits the courthouse at Manhattan criminal court in New York, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
Mr. Trump’s lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, arranged a $130,000 hush payment at the center of the trial. The charges pivot on whether Mr. Trump was part of a criminal scheme to conceal the payment. Mr. Trump sat quietly and looked straight ahead, possibly at monitors that showed close-ups of the action. At times, he conferred with his lawyers at the defense table.
While Ms. Daniels’ steamy story is gaining much of the public attention, the heart of the case centers on alleged efforts to cover up the payment, and whether those efforts showed intent to commit election and financial crimes. On Thursday, Ms. Daniels said she concluded that taking a nondisclosure agreement would be the best way to document the story, without it blowing up in public and impacting her family.
Her testimony was so detailed that it made state Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan uneasy. He urged prosecutors to move things along.
