Stormy Daniels to Go Toe-to-Toe With Trump’s Defense at Hush Money Trial
Win McNamee/AFP via Getty ImagesDonald Trump’s hush money trial will resume Thursday with more testimony from Stormy Daniels, the porn star whose claims of a sexual encounter with the former president and a subsequent payment to keep quiet about it are at the center of the prosecution’s historic criminal case.She will return to the witness stand to face questioning from the defense, who have already attempted to undermine her credibility and the prosecution’s contention that Trump plotted to unlawfully influence the 2016 election by burying potentially damaging stories about him ahead of the national vote.Daniels is key to the proceedings because prosecutors allege that the Trump Organization deliberately mislabeled payments to Michael Cohen—Trump’s former attorney and fixer—as legal expenses when they were in fact reimbursements for a $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to buy her silence about the alleged affair. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records and has denied ever having a sexual relationship with Daniels.Read more at The Daily Beast.
