Stormy Daniels Testifies In Trump's Criminal Hush Money Trial
HuffPost
A $130,000 payment to the porn actor rests at the center of the trial that could end in jail time for Trump.
Stormy Daniels, the porn actor who maintains she once had an affair with former President Donald Trump, took the stand Tuesday in his New York criminal trial.
Daniels’ testimony is expected to be key to the prosecution’s case against Trump, who is accused of falsifying New York state business records to conceal a hush money payment to her in the days before the 2016 presidential election.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his office have argued that this payment was made to influence the outcome of the election, meaning Trump could potentially be convicted of felonies and sentenced to prison.
Trump looked away from the witness stand as she began speaking, staring instead at the monitor in front of him that showed her testifying.
Asked if she could identify Trump in the courtroom Tuesday, Daniels extended her right arm and pointer finger in his direction.
