On January 30, 2018, Stormy Daniels issued a second statement reiterating her denial of a sexual relationship with Donald Trump. During her testimony, Daniels confirmed that although she signed the statement, she did not release it herself. She mentioned that her signature on this particular statement differed from her usual signature.
When questioned by Trump's attorney, Daniels revealed that she felt pressured to sign the statement by Michael Cohen through Keith Davidson, emphasizing that she never had direct communication with Cohen. The attorney pointed out that in 2018, Trump was already president and not running for election, indicating that his concern was primarily for his family and brand.
During the questioning, Daniels was asked about Trump's brand, to which she responded with a laugh, acknowledging the significance of his brand. Despite objections from the prosecutor, the judge allowed Daniels to provide her response.
The exchange between Daniels and the attorneys shed light on the dynamics surrounding the denial of the alleged relationship between Daniels and Trump. Daniels' testimony highlighted the influence of individuals like Cohen and Davidson in shaping the narrative surrounding the situation.
