Trump allegedly had a one-night stand with Stormy Daniels, who later agreed to lie about it for a $130,000 payoff.

By delving into the details, Stormy Daniels succeeded in convincing a jury of her one-night sexual encounter with Donald Trump yesterday.

She has always maintained that her 2006 encounter with Trump was consensual, despite his claims that it never occurred.

In a trial that ultimately turns on an allegation of falsified business records, it may not matter.

Daniels received a $130,000 payment from Cohen, which she acknowledges, in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement that mandated her to lie.

We were unable to share our stories and had to act as if we didn't know each other, which severely impacted her credibility.

The court reporter in the Manhattan courthouse found it difficult to determine how the jurors were reacting to Stormy Daniels' testimony, as she made jokes that were not laughed at and spoke too quickly, requiring frequent admonishments to slow down.

Here’s what Daniels said happened that fateful night:

At a Lake Tahoe golf tournament, they briefly met; she was 27 and directed X-rated films, while he was approximately 60. Daniels claims she knew little about him and had never watched "Celebrity Apprentice."

She spotted him once more at the gift store, as evidenced by a photo that has been viewed a billion times globally.

Schiller, Keith, asked if she would have dinner with Trump. She responded with "F*** no." Despite this, he obtained her phone number from her contacts and sent her a text message asking again.

Daniels' publicist encouraged her to attend, with the amusing statement: "What's the worst that could happen?"

She claims she instructed him to alter his attire when she was escorted to the penthouse and he was wearing silk pajamas.

Daniels attempted to prove her presence by describing the room's heavy furniture in detail.

Daniels testified earlier that his mother was very neglectful, disappearing for days at a time. He then inquired about her family and how she got into adult movies.

Did she inform Trump that she had never tested positive for STDs?

Trump stated that Melania is very beautiful and clarified that they do not share the same sleeping space.

Testifying, Stormy stated that she reacted angrily when Trump displayed a business magazine featuring him as the cover image.

"Do you consistently behave in a rude and arrogant manner? Are you always this haughty and self-important? You lack the ability to engage in a civil dialogue. She glanced at the magazine and remarked: "Someone should give you a spanking with that.""

He played the "Apprentice" card, suggesting she appear on his show. However, Stormy was unconvinced, asserting that NBC would never endorse a porn star: "You don't have that much influence, even you."

Trump remarked, "You resemble my daughter, a smart and beautiful blonde, who is often underestimated by others."

Okay, enough small talk (there was two hours’ worth).

Daniels went to the bathroom and searched through his toiletry bag. Upon returning, she stated, "He was lying on the bed, wearing boxers and a T-shirt."

How had she misinterpreted the situation? (It's understandable that someone who was paid for sex might not have realized the gravity of the situation.)

Though she hadn't been drugged, Stormy claims to have "blacked out."

"He was bigger and blocking the way, but I was not threatened verbally or physically."

She had her clothes and shoes off, removed her bra, and was in the "missionary position." Despite her earlier freakout.

Juan Merchan raised the first of several objections to Daniels' description of the position. Daniels argued that the action was brief, he didn't use a condom, and she didn't enjoy it.

The porn star remained in contact with the man who prevented her from exiting the room, despite his rejection. She attended his vodka product launch the following spring, hoping to preserve their relationship as the possibility of an "Apprentice" role still loomed.

In L.A. that summer, she saw him again and went to his hotel bungalow with her boyfriend outside. He made sexual advances, putting his hand on her leg. She lied and said she was having her period.

Trump later called, stating that he had been overruled and couldn't have her on the show.

Daniels has previously claimed that an unidentified man threatened her in a 2011 parking lot encounter with Trump, making it difficult to verify the account.

In the last stages of the 2016 election, Daniels was offered a $130,000 payment, with the condition that her husband wouldn't discover it. Despite repeatedly stating that she wasn't interested in money, she ultimately accepted the six-figure deal.

In 2018, when the Wall Street Journal exposed her hush money scheme, Daniels claims her life became "chaos" and she was "ostracized."

During cross-examination, the defense swiftly gained ground. Trump had referred to her as "horseface." Did she harbor hatred towards Trump? Yes. Would she like him to be incarcerated if he was found guilty? Absolutely.

Daniels lost a defamation suit she filed against the former president, and was ordered to pay $120,000 and another $121,000 in attorneys’ fees. She vowed never to pay.

In a short amount of time, the Trump defense portrayed her as an angry individual with a significant grudge against their client based on her harsh replies.

Stormy Daniels' statements about Donald Trump were both positive and negative. The jury may not care if she was truthful or if she implied Trump was a predator, but what matters is that she lied in the NDA that Trump eventually paid Michael Cohen for "legal expenses."

After the lunch break, the Trump defense requested a mistrial, arguing that the only purpose of the prejudicial questions was to inflame the jury, aside from pure embarrassment.

The judge rejected the request, agreeing that some things should have remained unsaid, but the defense also bears responsibility.

Prosecutors previously called a Random House executive to obtain some of Trump's book statements as evidence.

"If someone harms you, retaliate with maximum ferocity and brutality."

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

And this goes more to the core legal charge:

"By signing a check yourself, you can observe the true financial operations of your business. When others see your signature on the check, they are less likely to take advantage of you."

That is, screw in the business sense.
