Trump hush-money trial live: Stormy Daniels cross-examination


Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in New York.

We will pick up where we left off on Tuesday, with testimony from one of prosecutors’ star witnesses – adult film actor Stormy Daniels.

On Tuesday, speaking at a rapid pace, she walked us through the events that led up to her alleged sexual encounter with Trump (which Trump has denied ever happened).

Daniels often provided salacious details that even the judge himself said “would have been better left unsaid”.

She told the court about how Trump greeted her in silk pyjamas in his hotel room, and how they had a long chat at a dining room table before allegedly had sex.

She also spoke of the aftermath – how she tried to sell the story of the alleged encounter at points but ultimately decided to sign a non-disclosure agreement, for which Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000.

Daniels proved to be a difficult witness for prosecutors during her morning testimony.

But after some direction from prosecutors (and Trump’s lawyers calling for a mistrial), her afternoon testimony proved more succinct.

We’ll see how it plays out today.
