Key takeaways from Stormy Daniels’ testimony at Donald Trump’s hush money trial

Key takeaways from Stormy Daniels’ testimony at Donald Trump’s hush money trial
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Key PointsStormy Daniels has testified about an alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump in 2006.Donald Trump denies ever having sex with Stormy Daniels.legal team has suggested that Daniels was angling for a spot on “The Apprentice”.

Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the heart of Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial, testified about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the former president in a hotel penthouse suite.

Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels on the eve of his 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, when the lurid story of marital infidelity could have sunk his campaign.

Trump has denied having sex with Daniels, and his defence team sought — unsuccessfully — to have a mistrial declared.

The extraordinary courtroom face-off comes six months before election day, when Trump will try to defeat Democratic President Joe Biden.

‘Hefner’s pyjamas?’

Daniels walked prosecutors through her difficult childhood in Louisiana, a stint as a stripper and eventually joining the adult film industry.

The 45-year-old, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she met Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe where she was employed as a greeter by X-rated movie company Wicked Entertainment.

Daniels said she was 27 at the time and Trump was “probably older than my father.”

She said a member of Trump’s security detail told her the real estate tycoon wanted to have dinner with her. She was reluctant but agreed after discussing it with her publicist.

When she arrived at the penthouse where Trump was staying he emerged wearing “silk or satin pyjamas which I immediately made fun of,” Daniels told the jury.

“I said ‘Does Mr Hefner know you stole his pyjamas?'” she said in a reference to the outfit favoured by the late Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner.

‘Imbalance of power’

Daniels said she went to the bathroom at one point and when she emerged Trump was on the bed in boxer shorts and a T-shirt.

“It startled me,” she said. “The intention was pretty clear.”

“I was not threatened verbally or physically,” Daniels said, although there was an “imbalance of power.”

She said they had brief sex on the bed “in missionary position” and Trump did not wear a condom.

She said she entered into a non-disclosure agreement in October 2016 on the eve of the presidential election negotiated by Davidson and Cohen for which she was paid $130,000.

‘My motivation wasn’t money’

Daniels’ testimony prompted Trump’s legal team to ask for a mistrial, arguing that her account included details, such as the fact that Trump did not wear a condom, “inflamed” the jury and were irrelevant to the case. Justice Juan Merchan denied the request.

His legal team has suggested that Daniels was angling for a spot on “The Apprentice,” a popular reality TV show then hosted by Trump, a New York real estate mogul.

Daniels confirmed that she hoped he would cast her on the show following their encounter. Asked by Trump’s lawyer if she was now making money off her story, she replied: “I’ve been making money by telling my story about what happened to me.”

Daniels said she was determined to keep the incident private after being threatened in a parking lot in 2011 but changed her mind during Trump’s 2016 presidential bid, when he faced multiple accusations of sexual misbehaviour.

“My motivation wasn’t money, it was to get the story out,” she said.

Trump lawyer Susan Necheles grilled Daniels on apparent inconsistencies in the account of the parking lot threat she has told over the years. “The whole story was made up, wasn’t it?” Necheles asked.

“No, none of it was made up,” Daniels said.

What happens next?

Trump is under a partial gag order prohibiting him from publicly attacking witnesses, the jury or court staff.

Merchan has already fined him $10,000 for breaching the gag order and warned Trump he may face jail time for future violations.

The case is widely seen as less consequential than three other criminal prosecutions Trump faces, but it is the only one certain to go to trial before the election.

In addition to the New York case, Trump has been indicted in Washington and Georgia on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Biden.

He also faces charges of illegally storing top-secret documents taken from the White House at his home in Florida and refusing to return them.
