Adult film star Stormy Daniels provided vivid details of her alleged 2006 encounter with Donald Trump from the witness stand on Tuesday.
Stormy Daniels recounted their meeting at a celebrity golf tournament and subsequent events in Trump’s Lake Tahoe hotel room.
Daniels described the hotel room decor and her dinner conversation with Trump, where she was impressed by his interest in the adult film business. The testimony turned explicit as she detailed physical interactions, including a moment where she used a magazine to spank Trump.
Some details were so explicit that Judge Juan Merchan interrupted her multiple times. Trump’s lawyers objected, claiming the details biased the jury, and unsuccessfully sought a mistrial.
Daniels also discussed the aftermath of the “Access Hollywood” tape, noting Trump and his lawyer Michael Cohen’s interest in purchasing her silence as the 2016 election neared.
The trial will resume Thursday with further cross-examination by Trump’s attorney, Susan Necheles. Despite the salacious details, Daniels emphasized her aim was accountability, not animosity.
Trump’s legal team accused Daniels of profiting from her story, a claim she acknowledged but noted the financial and personal costs she endured.
The courtroom drama continues to unfold, with both sides vehemently defending their positions in a case that blends legal arguments with personal grievances.
