During the ongoing legal proceedings involving Stormy Daniels and former President Donald Trump, Daniels faced questioning from Trump's attorney regarding the benefits she received from going public with her story.
Attorney Susan Necheles inquired about the aftermath of Daniels' 60 Minutes interview, where Daniels confirmed that despite the publicity she received, she considered it to be negative. Necheles emphasized the significant amount of attention Daniels garnered from the interview.
Necheles then questioned Daniels about a book contract she negotiated for $800,000, which Daniels acknowledged. Additionally, Daniels admitted that her former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, arranged her appearances on CNN and The View but allegedly kept most of the proceeds for himself.
Necheles further pressed Daniels on the total amount she had earned from selling her story, pointing out that Daniels had received nearly $930,000 for her disclosures.
The exchange sheds light on the financial aspects of Daniels' decision to come forward with her allegations against Trump and the subsequent media attention she received. The questioning aimed to establish the extent to which Daniels benefited financially from her public statements and appearances.
