During a court session on Thursday, Stormy Daniels faced questioning during cross-examination regarding a statement she had released denying an encounter with Donald Trump. Trump's lawyer, Susan Necheles, read excerpts from the statement, specifically focusing on the parts where Daniels denied having had sex with Trump. Daniels clarified that although she signed the statement, she did not actually write it.
Necheles highlighted another statement in which Daniels explicitly denied having a sexual relationship with Trump. One section of the statement reads, 'I’m denying this affair because it never happened.' Daniels acknowledged that Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, had pressured her to sign the statement.
