Adult star Stormy Daniels took the witness stand on Tuesday in the hush money case against former US President Donald Trump, who looked on as she detailed their alleged sexual encounter and the payment she got to keep it quiet. During the testimony, Daniels recounted her evening with Trump, and said she looked through his toiletry bag while she went to use the bathroom, finding Old Spice and Pert Plus items lying alongside "gold tweezers".
While Trump denies having sex with Daniels, his lawyers unsuccessfully pushed for a mistrial midway through her testimony. Meanwhile, prosecutors alleged Trump paid Daniels to keep quiet about the claims as he ran for President in 2016. The third week of Daniel's testimony comes as Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, seeks to win the White House again.
