Trump attorney questions Stormy Daniels on differing accounts of alleged sexual encounter
Stormy Daniels was questioned Thursday in court about differences in how she has told the story of her alleged sexual encounter with former President Donald Trump over the past several years.
Attempting to show inconsistencies in Daniels' story, Trump lawyer Susan Necheles pointed out that Daniels has performed in pornography, and asked her how Trump's alleged propositions in a hotel room made her feel faint, and her hands go numb -- as she testified earlier this week.
Daniels said that when someone is not expecting it, and it's not a husband but an older man is laying on the bed in boxers, it’s startling.
Necheles then pointed to remarks Daniels made in her book, where she claimed she was so assertive and powerful that she "made [Trump] my b---h."
Necheles said Daniels did not say no to having sex with Trump, which Daniels confirmed. Daniels also confirmed that this wasn’t the first time someone had made a pass at her, and said it was the first time there was a bodyguard outside.
“You told In Touch a completely different story," Necheles said. Daniels replied, "No" and claimed “there were parts in the middle I didn’t remember.”
Stormy said she was not trying to make money in 2011, and the In Touch article was an abbreviated version.
Daniels said an In Touch article “left out a lot of stuff because they couldn’t fact check it.”
"You made it up,” Necheles asked. "No," Daniels responded.
