Trump attorneys sought to cast doubt on adult star’s account of alleged tryst – but she refused to concede any inconsistencies
on Thursday sought to discredit and undermine testimony from Stormy Daniels, who gave combative testimony about her alleged sexual encounter with the former president and the $130,000 hush-money payment at the heart of the criminal case.
The retelling of the alleged sexual encounter was different in tone and substance, but there was one major detail that prosecutors, on redirect examination, confirmed was consistent: she recalled having sex with Trump in 2011 and at trial. Westerhout also described Trump’s day-to-day frugality and how Rhona Graff, his assistant at the Trump Organization, once asked if he wanted to approve a roughly $6,500 annual dues payment to a golf club. Trump’s handwritten note saying “Pay – ASAP, D” showed he paid attention to the minutiae.
Chief among them was Daniels’s comment that Trump was not wearing a condom, after previously testifying that the only reason she went to work for a certain adult entertainment company was because they mandated condom use.
