Adult film actress Stormy Daniels took the witness stand Tuesday in the unprecedented criminal trial of former President Donald Trump in the case, N.Y. v. Trump.
Trump is alleged to have given Daniels a $130,000 payment through his former lawyer Michael Cohen ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her story of an alleged affair with Trump in the early 2000s. Trump has denied the affair.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump's defense attorneys objected to prosecutors' plans to go through the "full details" of the alleged sex act between Daniels and Trump during the New York criminal trial.
Trump's team argued there is no need for the details, and they further argue that there is an issue with her credibility since Daniels has signed papers saying the sex act didn't happen. Prosecutors clarified that they would "not go into details of genitalia."
Judge Juan Merchan sided with prosecutors, saying they could ask Daniels for the details they outlined.
