Adult film actress Stormy Daniels has taken the stand to testify today in the hush money trial, two sources confirmed to NBC News.
Daniels said she had pushed back on Trump’s comparison, saying that working as a performer in the adult film industry is more like fake wrestling, such as WWE. Asked if Trump asked if she was ever tested, Daniels said he did and she volunteered that information. She said she told him that they get tested all the time, and he asked if she ever tested positive for something. She said she told him she could show him her entire record.His brows are furrowed but he has not shaken his head or appeared to express his displeasure in other obvious ways. Trump's lawyers, Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles, are listening and occasionally writing things on pads.
"It'll make a great story. He's a business guy. What could possibly go wrong?" Daniels recalled Mike saying to her, which drew laughter from the court's overflow room.Prosecutors showed Daniels a photo of her contact entry of Trump's bodyguard Keith Schiller on her phone, illustrating how thorough their approach to evidence has been.
She said she was 27 years old at the time. When asked if she knew his approximate age at the time, Daniels said she knew he was as old as her father and guessed 60.Daniels said she did and that she worked for Wicked Pictures, an adult film company, which had a table at the tournament where celebrities could stop by and pose for photos.
Daniels described how she started out after leaving home and moving away from her neglectful mother at 17. Daniels said she started directing when she was 23 and has been involved in the productions of “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up,” “Finding Bliss” and a TV show called “Dirt” with Courteney Cox.Stormy Daniels said she was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She said her parents divorced when she was 4 years old.
The judge has asked Daniels, who started off by speaking quickly, to slow down her testimony for the court reporter. The prosecution asked Franklin if the acknowledgements were consistent with something an author who was very involved in the writing process would write. Franklin responded,"Yes."Prosecutors are asking Franklin, the publishing executive, to read aloud some choice quotes from Trump's books, including one from “How to Get Rich” that said, “For many years, I’ve said that if someone screws you, screw them back.
