Trump team says Stormy Daniels’ affair story is false because it never happened.
Stormy Daniels’ allegations against former President Trump have been under scrutiny as his defense attorneys argue that her story keeps changing because the alleged affair never happened.
During the cross-examination led by defense attorney Susan Necheles, Daniels was confronted with statements she had signed in the past denying any encounter with Trump. Despite claims that she did not write the statements herself, Daniels admitted to signing them.
Necheles highlighted a statement where Daniels explicitly denied having a sexual relationship with Trump, stating, “I’m denying this affair because it never happened.” Daniels attributed the pressure to sign such statements to ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
Contrary to claims of requesting money from Trump, Daniels clarified that she sought compensation for sharing her story to various publications, emphasizing that she never directly asked Trump for money. She disclosed that she earned nearly $1 million by selling her story and writing her book, “Full Disclosure.”
When probed about the details of the alleged encounter in 2006, Daniels’ accounts appeared inconsistent between her court testimony and prior interviews. Necheles pointed out discrepancies in her narratives, implying that Daniels may have fabricated parts of her story.
As the trial unfolded, Daniels was questioned about the circumstances leading to her signing a non-disclosure agreement and accepting hush money. She testified that fear and concerns for her safety motivated her decision to enter into the agreement, despite her initial pursuit of profit by selling her story.
In a legal battle that has captured national attention, Trump faces multiple charges for falsifying business records related to payments made to Daniels to maintain her silence about their alleged affair. The prosecution must convince the jury that Trump engaged in a conspiracy to influence the elections, elevating the charges to a felony offense.
As the courtroom drama continues to unfold, the conflicting testimonies and shifting narratives presented by both parties underscore the complex nature of the case. Ultimately, the truth behind the alleged affair and the legality of the hush money agreements remain central to the high-stakes trial.
