Trump’s lawyer suggested it would be strange for a porn star to be creeped out with the thought of having sex with the former president.
“But according to you, seeing a man sitting on a bed in a T-shirt and boxers was so upsetting, you became light-headed and almost fainted?”for the alleged sexual encounter with Trump — a sexual encounter Trump’s defense team contends she made up for notoriety and financial gain — and implied that her history as a sex worker should somehow make her immune to feeling creeped out by the former president.
The alleged 2006 sexual encounter between Trump and Daniels has led nearly 20 years later to Trump becoming the first president to stand criminal trial. He is accused of illegally falsifying business records related to a payment to keep Daniels quiet about the alleged affair ahead of the 2016 election. The prosecution calling Daniels to the stand on Tuesday, who posted to Truth Social that his team was not given time to prepare.
“You were a porn actress in over 200 films,” Necheles asked Daniels, who clarified it was closer to 150 and the rest included compilations. “So you have a lot of experience in making phony stories about sex seem real.” Jurors were completely stone-faced during Necheles’ increasingly scapegoating questions. They were, however, amused by Daniels’ quick-witted remarks to some of Necheles’ more personal questions. “If that story was untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better,” Daniels quipped about her alleged encounter with Trump.
