In a combative few hours of cross-examination in the hush money trial, Trump’s lawyers sought to portray the former porn star as a promiscuous extortionist.
Her merchandise line sold everything from comic books to candles depicting her as Stormy Daniels, the “Saint of Indictments”.She also published a memoir, launched a reality TV show and won a new group of fans - women; gay couples, immigrants - who apparently despised Donald Trump as much as she did.
“The sex in the films is very much real,” Daniels snapped back, immediately pivoting to her 2006 tryst with Trump. “Just like what happened to me in that room.”It was another day of searing evidence against a Republican nominee who stands accused of falsifying business records to cover up his affair with Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump was furious about Daniels’ testimony - so much so that Judge Juan Merchan could hear him cursing audibly and privately warned his lawyers that this “has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that.” As Trump watched on from the defence table, his lawyer repeatedly suggested that the witness was “selling” herself at sex clubs, to which an indignant Daniels replied: “I don’t work in sex clubs, I work in strip clubs. There’s a big difference.”Spooky BabesStormy Daniels in 2022.
