Daniels said Trump’s wife, Melania, was also discussed during their lengthy conversation.
Adult star Stormi Daniels testified in court against former US President Donald Trump. “When I opened the bathroom door to come out, Mr. Trump came into the bedroom,” Stormy Daniels told the New York court. Meanwhile, Trump listened intently to Daniels’ testimony. Judge Juan Marchen ordered Daniels to “only answer questions” after repeated objections from the defense, many of which he sustained.

According to a trial transcript released late Tuesday, Marchen ordered the former president’s lawyers to tone down their client’s behavior, saying it could intimidate a witness. Daniels then made several allegations public. Daniels recalled that he met Trump in 2006, when Trump asked him to have dinner with him at a golf tournament. When she arrived via the penthouse elevator, Trump greeted her in silk or satin pajamas.
“Then he told me it was still a little early, maybe we could talk a little bit and get to know each other,” Daniels said. Then she also asked if she had a boyfriend, and talked about the economics of the porn industry and the risk of disease in the job. “I said we get tested every 30 days,” Daniels told the court, adding that during their lengthy conversation they discussed Trump’s wife, Melania. In which Trump said, “We’re not even really sleeping in the same room.” “I’ve been told I remind them of their daughter because she’s smart and white,” Daniels said.
Daniels’ real name is Stephanie Clifford. Prosecutors wanted to prove that Trump paid Daniels not to disclose the alleged sexual relationship. Daniels said her hands were shaking as she quickly dressed. Trump’s lawyers sought a mistrial, saying Daniels’ testimony had nothing to do with the fraud charges against the former president. The judge denied the request, but said “I agree there were some things that were left unsaid.”
