Stormy Daniels will face tough questioning from Donald Trump's lawyers Thursday as they try to dismantle the credibility of a woman whose story of a 2006 sexual encounter ultimately led to the first criminal trial of a former president.
Stormy Daniels returned to the witness stand in Donald Trump 's New York criminal trial Thursday, two days after she spent hours recounting in sometimes graphic detail the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the former president that she was eventually paid to keep quiet about during the 2016 presidential election.
Prosecutors say Trump and two of his associates orchestrated a scheme to influence the 2016 election by buying and burying stories that might damage his campaign. Daniels took issue with Trump lawyer Susan Necheles’ questioning several times Thursday. Amid questions about the financial arrangements for her documentary, Daniels accused Necheles of “trying to trick me into saying something that’s not entirely true.”
After Necheles showed Daniels a social media post she’d made that did not reflect those precise words, Daniels replied: “I don’t see the ‘instrumental’ or ‘jail.’ You’re putting words in my mouth.” Daniels said she’s received $100,000 and is due $25,000 more for footage and other rights she provided to the makers of a documentary about her experiences that aired recently on the NBC streaming service Peacock.
