Allegations of sexual relations and financial transactions between former US President Donald Trump and former porn star Stormy Daniels have been discussed for years. Although they have been talking against each other for so long, the two met in court for the first time yesterday (May 7). Stormy testified against Trump in court. He spoke in detail about his allegations against Trump.
Most of the time Stormy spoke in court was about her sex scandal with Trump. Trump is accused of having a sexual relationship with Stormy Daniels in 2006. Later, before the 2016 presidential election, Trump bribed Stormy with $130,000 not to open up about it. And Donald Trump hid this information in business records.
The charges came after allegations of an attempt to pay Danielle Stormi $130,000 to keep her mouth shut came to light. Of course, Trump has been claiming that he is innocent. The former US president also claimed that he had no sexual relationship with Stormi. But he admitted that his (Trump’s) ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid him (Stormy) to stop what Stormy was saying.
Trump was listening, Stormy was saying
The court where the complainant, Stormy, will appear on the 13th day of the hearing of the criminal case on Tuesday, has already been quite crowded. However, the most dramatic day in the trial process has been seen through his statement. He spoke in detail about the sex scandal with Trump.
At parts of Stormy’s speech, Trump was shaking his head to indicate his disagreement. Seeing that, the judge warned Trump. These things were known from the documents published by the court at the end of the day yesterday.
This is not the first time Stormy Daniels has detailed allegations of sexual harassment against Trump. After the news of her agreement with Trump to keep her mouth shut came to light, she described her relationship with Trump in a national television interview, a documentary film made under her name, an interview with a famous American journalist and her book ‘Full Disclosure’.
However, this is the first time Stormy has described the incident in the presence of accused Trump in court, sitting just a few feet away from him.
Stormy appeared distraught as she testified during the morning court session. He was speaking so fast that counsel Susan Hoffinger and Justice Marchan asked him to slow down. Sometimes he lost his rhythm while answering Counselor Hoffinger’s questions. The judge then told counsel to bring control to his witness.
Stormy looked at the jury as he recounted the events of 2006. He said he first met Trump at a star golf tournament. Trump then invited him to dinner.
Stormy Daniels told the court that she initially did not want to attend the dinner with Trump. But Trump’s campaign aides encouraged him. Said, ‘What will be such a problem in this?’ Some people present in the court laughed after saying this.
Later, Stormi went to Trump’s hotel suite to attend dinner. There they have sex. Stormy said he had consent in this case.
Trump’s lawyers are furious
Earlier in the day, Trump’s lawyers requested that the court draw the line on what prosecutors can ask Stormi about the sex scandal allegations. But lawyers have argued that Stormy must be questioned to find out why he gave Trump the money.
As government counsel asked Stormi questions, Trump’s lawyers repeatedly stood up and objected. There was some ruckus in the courtroom.
Justice Juan Marchan also admitted that some of what was described in court on Tuesday was better left unsaid. He requested the government counsel to specify the personal nature of the questions.
Trump’s lawyer, Susan Necheles, also questioned Stormi on Tuesday. He was trying to prove that Stormy had motives behind such accusations. At that time there was a lot of quarrel between the two.
‘You were sitting there making up the words, weren’t you,’ Necheles told Stormi.
Trump told reporters after the court session that he thought the trial was going well.
