The porn star took the stand as a witness in the former president’s criminal hush money trial on Tuesday.
Stormy Daniels has claimed Donald and Melania Trump do not share a bed during testimony at his New York hush money trial.
Taking to the stand on Tuesday, Daniels spoke fast and casually as she cracked jokes while talking about her early life, her career and her encounter with Trump.
Discussing their night together, she said the GOP presidential candidate revealed to her: “We don’t sleep in the same room.”
Jurors were treated to plenty of details Tuesday morning.
Trump is accused of asking Michael Cohen to pay Daniels $130,000 to keep their alleged affair secret days before the 2016 election.
Prosecutors claim this alleged payment amounted to an illegal campaign contribution.
Trump denies any wrongdoing in the hush money trial and has pleaded not guilty to 34 charges, branding the case a political “witch hunt.”
Daniels also claimed Trump compared her to his “beautiful” daughter on another occasion.
“You remind me of my daughter because she’s smart, blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her,” he allegedly told her.
The adult film acress, who said she prefered to be called Stormy Daniels instead of her real name Stephanie Clifford, was asked to slow down by the Judge Juan Merchan after she tried to crack a joke about her podcast Beyond the Norm, quipping that it’s about “anything beyond the norm.”
Tuesday is probably the date Trump wanted to avoid the most, as potentially embarrassing details about his alleged tryst with Daniels were revealed.
She told jurors that she came out of the bathroom to find Trump lying in bed in a T-shirt and boxers.
“At first I was just startled, like a jump scare. I wasn’t expecting someone to be there,” she said.
After their encounter, she said she was “shaking so hard” she could barely get her shoes on and left “as fast as I could.”
