1 week ago 9

If Stormy Daniels succeeded yesterday successful convincing a jury that she had a one-night intersexual brushwood with Donald Trump, it was by delving into the details.

At the aforesaid time, she acknowledged that Trump did thing to unit her into having enactment successful 2006 and that she sought him retired the pursuing year. The porn prima has ne'er described their alleged one-nighter arsenic thing different than consensual sex, though Trump insists it ne'er happened.

That whitethorn not substance successful a proceedings that yet turns connected an allegation of falsified concern records, but this does:

Daniels says that successful speech for a $130,000 outgo – and there’s nary factual quality that Michael Cohen sent her the wealth – she signed a non-disclosure agreement that required her to lie.

"I could not archer my story, helium could not archer his story. We had to unreal we didn’t cognize each other." And that, of course, is simply a superior ding to her credibility.

Even reporters successful the Manhattan courthouse said it was hard to cognize however this was playing with the jurors. Stormy made jokes they didn’t laughter at, and spoke truthful rapidly that she repeatedly had to beryllium admonished to dilatory down, truthful the tribunal newsman could support up.

Here’s what Daniels said happened that fateful night:

They met concisely astatine a Lake Tahoe play tournament; she was 27, making and directing X-rated films, and helium was astir 60. Daniels says she knew small astir him and had ne'er seen "Celebrity Apprentice."

She saw him again astatine the acquisition shop, arsenic documented by a photograph that the satellite has seen a cardinal times.

Bodyguard Keith Schiller asked if she’d person meal with Trump; she says she replied "F*** no." But Schiller got her compartment fig (he’s successful her contacts) and asked again by text.

Daniels’ publicist urged her to go, successful what I find the funniest enactment of the day: "What’s the worst happening that could happen?"

When she was taken to the penthouse, Trump was successful silk pajamas. She says she told him to change.

Daniels described the country successful detail, beauteous dense furniture, successful an effort to beryllium she was there.

He asked astir her household and however she got into big movies. (Daniels testified earlier that "my parent was precise neglectful, disappearing for days astatine a time.")

Were determination STD tests? She said she told Trump she’d never tested positive.

There was a precise little speech astir Melania: Trump said she was precise beautiful, and added: "We don’t slumber successful the aforesaid room."

Stormy testified she snapped astatine Trump erstwhile helium showed her a concern mag with him arsenic the screen boy:

"Are you ever this rude? Are you ever this arrogant and pompous? You don’t adjacent cognize however to person a conversation." She looked astatine the mag and said: "Someone should spank you with that."

He played the "Apprentice" card, saying she should travel connected his show. Stormy wasn’t buying it, saying NBC would ne'er enactment connected a porn star: "Even you don’t person that overmuch power."

She recalled Trump saying: "You punctual maine of my daughter, astute blonde and beautiful, radical ever underestimate her."

'THE VIEW' CO-HOSTS FANTASIZE OVER SENDING TRUMP TO PRISON

Okay, capable tiny speech (there was 2 hours’ worth). 

Daniels crossed the chamber to spell to the bathroom, wherever she went done his toiletry bag. When Daniels came out, she testified, "he was connected the bed, wearing boxers and a T-shirt."

Here’s wherever it got dramatic: "I felt the country rotation and humor permission my hands." How had she misread the situation? (Right, idiosyncratic who is paid for enactment had nary idea?)

Stormy says she "blacked out," though she hadn’t been drugged.

"There was an imbalance of power. He was bigger and blocking the way." But, "I was not threatened verbally oregon physically."

Somehow she transitioned, aft the humor leaving her hands, to saying "I had my apparel and my shoes off. I removed my bra." They were successful the "missionary position." How does that quadrate with her earlier freakout?

Judge Juan Merchan sustained the archetypal of respective defence objections to her statement of the position. Daniels besides said the enactment was brief, that helium didn’t usage a condom, and that she didn’t bask it.

More telling, successful my view, is that the porn prima stayed successful interaction with the antheral she says blocked her from leaving the room. She went to his motorboat of a vodka merchandise the adjacent spring, wanting to support a narration due to the fact that the anticipation of an "Apprentice" appearance was inactive successful the air. 

She saw him again that summertime successful L.A., went to his edifice bungalow with her fellow stationed outside. "He kept trying to marque intersexual advances," putting his manus connected her leg. She says she lied and claimed she was having her period.

Not shockingly, Trump aboriginal called, said he’d been overruled and couldn’t get her connected the show.

A cardinal moment, which Daniels has alleged before, is that an chartless antheral came up to her successful a parking batch successful 2011 and threatened her if she ever revealed the brushwood with Trump. Of course, that makes the relationship intolerable to fact-check.

In the last agelong of the 2016 campaign, Daniels was approached astir the $130,000 payment, told that this mode her hubby would not find out. She kept saying she wasn’t funny successful money, but was much than blessed to instrumentality the six-figure deal.

When the Wall Street Journal exposed the hush wealth strategy successful 2018, with nary remark from Daniels, she says her beingness turned into "chaos" and she was "ostracized."

On cross-examination, the defence rapidly scored points. Trump had called her "horseface." Did she "hate" Trump? Yes. Does she privation him to spell to jail? If he’s convicted, "absolutely."

Daniels mislaid a defamation suit she filed against the erstwhile president, but mislaid past twelvemonth and was ordered to wage $120,000 and different $121,000 successful attorneys’ fees. She vowed ne'er to pay. 

In conscionable a fewer minutes, fixed her harsh responses, the Trump defence painted her arsenic an aggravated idiosyncratic with a sizable ax to grind against their client. 

The bottommost line: Stormy Daniels said things that were some favorable and unfavorable to Donald Trump. Whether the assemblage views her arsenic being candid oregon implying Trump was a predator whitethorn not substance much, but for the portion astir lying arsenic portion of the NDA for which Trump yet reimbursed Michael Cohen for "legal expenses."  

The Trump defence moved for a mistrial aft the luncheon break, saying the lone crushed for specified prejudicial questions, "aside from axenic embarrassment, is to inflame the jury."

The judge, naturally, rejected the request, portion agreeing determination were immoderate things that would person been "better near unsaid" but the defence besides shares responsibility.

Earlier, prosecutors called a Random House enforcement arsenic a mode of getting immoderate of Trump’s publication statements into the record. Some examples:

"When idiosyncratic hurts you, conscionable spell aft them arsenic viciously and arsenic violently arsenic you can."

"All the women connected ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me."
