Prosecutors dove straight into the seamy details of the hush-money case against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, getting porn star Stormy Daniels to testify about an alleged sexual encounter in a Lake Tahoe suite in 2006 and efforts to sell her story before the presidential election a decade later.
Stormy Daniels takes stand, dishes juicy testimony in Trump trialFormer President Donald Trump walks to speak to reporters at Manhattan criminal court, Monday, May 6, 2024 in New York.
“This is just a disaster for the DA, the Soros-backed DA. This whole case is just a disaster,” Mr. Trump said. Still, the sordid details in Ms. Daniels’ testimony could form the basis of an appeal if Mr. Trump is convicted. Prosecutors allege that Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen criminally concealed the payment to Ms. Daniels in 2017 through checks and business entries that show intent to commit election and tax offenses. Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Judge Merchan allowed prosecutors to elicit the eyebrow-raising testimony to establish Ms. Daniels’ credibility but drew the line at descriptions of genitalia or other seamy details. At times, the judge scolded the prosecution over the “unnecessary” level of detail.Once Mr. Trump’s attorneys got a crack at Ms. Daniels, they started their cross-examination by confirming that Ms. Daniels hates Mr. Trump.“If he’s convicted,” Ms. Daniels said.
