Adult film star Stormy Daniels told the court details of her alleged encounter with former US president Donald Trump.
She said she honoured the agreement by telling the Wall Street Journal in 2018 that she had not had sex with Mr Trump. Nevertheless, the Journal published the story. Mr Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, argued that her testimony was irrelevant to a case about business records and that details, such as the fact that Mr Trump did not wear a condom, would only "inflame" the jury."How can we come back from this in a way that's fair to President Trump?"A post published to Mr Trump's Truth Social account just before court resumed read: "THE PROSECUTION, WHICH HAS NO CASE, HAS GONE TOO FAR.
Judge Merchan said there were guardrails in place and that he sustained most of the defence's objections — but that there should have been more.Ms Daniels said Mr Trump made sexual advances after inviting her to his hotel suite at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

"I didn't say anything at all," she said and that she left the hotel room quickly afterwards.
She said she was approached in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 by a man who warned her not to speak about the encounter.She said she changed her mind during Mr Trump's 2016 bid and ultimately negotiated a $US130,000 payment with his lawyer, Michael Cohen.
