Stormy Daniels to testify in Trump hush money trial

Stormy Daniels will be called as a witness in Donald Trump’s criminal trial on Tuesday. Prosecutors say Trump covered up a 0,000 hush money payment to Daniels. Daniels says she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Cohen has previously said Trump directed him to make the payment. Trump denies any sexual encounter with Daniels and pleads not guilty to falsifying business records. Prosecutors aim to show Trump was responsible for an illegal cover-up. Trump’s defense team argues that Daniels’ testimony is not relevant to the case. Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance law through the payment to Daniels. Daniels claims she had sex with Trump at a Lake Tahoe hotel. Trump’s legal team says her claim is false. Trump has been fined for violating a gag order restricting him from speaking about witnesses. The trial is seen as an attempt to hinder Trump’s bid for the presidency.
