Former US President Donald Trump finds himself at the center of attention once again as the trial regarding his alleged involvement in a money-related case with former adult film star Stormy Daniels unfolds in a New York court. Daniels, the plaintiff in the case, took the stand and provided detailed testimony regarding her encounters with Trump, starting from their initial meeting.
The allegations against Trump stem from the 2016 US presidential election, during which Daniels claims she was offered a substantial sum of money to remain silent about her relationship with Trump. According to her testimony, Trump's then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, allegedly paid Daniels $130,000 as part of a hush-money agreement, which Trump failed to disclose to the Election Commission.
During Tuesday's court proceedings in New York, Daniels began her testimony, with Trump reportedly observing her every move. As Daniels entered the courtroom, she acknowledged Trump's presence and described his attire, noting that he was wearing a blue suit. Throughout her testimony, Trump remained stoic, occasionally shaking his head in disagreement.
Daniels recounted her first encounter with Trump at a charity golf tournament in 2006, alleging that they later engaged in an affair at a Lake Tahoe resort. However, the focus of the trial revolves around the illegal exchange of money intended to silence Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election.
The trial continues to draw widespread attention, as the testimony sheds light on the alleged misconduct and secrecy surrounding Trump's dealings with Daniels. As the legal proceedings unfold, all eyes remain fixated on the courtroom in New York, awaiting further revelations and developments in this high-profile case.
