On the 9th, in the case of the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, on suspicion of ‘silencing a sexual scandal’ held at the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York, Trump’s lawyer and the adult film actress Danielle faced. When Daniels appeared in his trial for the first time on the 7th, he revealed unilaterally in detail about his meeting and sexual relationship with Trump, to the point where he was stopped by Judge Juan Mercan, but on this day, there was a strong counterattack from Trump’s side. Throughout the trial, Trump’s lawyer tried to convince the jury that Daniels would be seen as an ‘unreliable witness whose facts keep changing’ or as ‘a person trying to make money by using Trump’, and tried Daniels not to be caught up in this. and gave up drugs.
The lawsuit alleges that Trump paid Daniels $130,000 to keep her quiet about his sexual relationship in 2016, the year of the presidential election. In this process, it is said that the company’s books were manipulated and public money was used, and the prosecution tries to increase the weight of the case by saying that it is an ‘election crime committed for the presidential election.’

Trump’s lawyer, Susan Nechels, argued that Daniels was only using the incident with Trump for money. Nechels asked, “Did you threaten to harm Trump if he didn’t give you money?” and Daniels said, “That’s not true.” As Nechels continued to press him, Daniels shrugged, “Tell me where I said that.” In addition, Trump’s side criticized Daniels for making money by selling candles with Trump on them for $40 each and selling Trump-related items such as T-shirts and books Daniels said, “There is almost no profit from sales, and the candles alone cost $7 each. “I made a decent amount of money,” he said “(selling things) is no different.” Nechels also showed the jury a flyer showing Daniels wearing blue underwear, which she posted on Instagram in 2018. It said, ‘Make America Excited Again Tour.’ It was intended that Daniels was using Trump to make money.Daniels said afterward, “I didn’t like that flyer,” and said it was being used mostly by those promoting the trip. The New York Times said, “Nechells is the most experienced lawyer on Trump’s team,” and “she made full use of her experience during the all-important questioning process.”

Nechels then continuously attacked the credibility of Daniel Els. He asked, “Does it make sense that a seasoned adult actor who has appeared in over 200 adult films is surprised to see Trump wearing nothing but underwear?” and “Aren’t the adult films you’ve made also tell ‘fake stories about sex’?” He claimed to the effect that he was lying. Daniels countered, “It would have been much more interesting if I created the story,” and added, “You might want to say I’ve changed, but I haven’t.” Nechels also noted that Daniels said on a reality TV show that he could “talk to dead relatives” and that he believed in the supernatural.The AP reported that Trump whispered to his defense attorney during the trial, but he did not appear very excited.
Trump’s trial has been going on for three weeks. The court testimony of Daniels, one of the most important witnesses in this case, ended today. Among the witnesses who have not yet returned is Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer who was in charge of the transfer of $130,000 to Daniels.
