Affected by the 2024 US election, the 2018 sexual relationship dispute between American adult film actress Stormy Daniels (also nicknamed Stormy) and former US President Donald John Trump was heard for the first time yesterday (23rd). Daniels Legal proceedings were filed against Trump based on the confidentiality agreement signed in the past, and the Manhattan District Attorney is currently investigating. Trump’s lawyer claimed that Trump did not have sexual relations with Daniels, but he was slapped in the face by Republican Senator Mitt Romney and no one would believe this.
Daniels testified that Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 in 2016 as “hush money” to prevent her from disclosing her sexual relationship with Trump years ago. Daniels said the nondisclosure contract she signed was invalid. This agreement, drawn up before the 2016 US presidential election, has been “void” because Trump did not sign it. Shortly before the presidential election that year, she and Trump’s lawyer Cohen signed a “hush money” document, but Trump did not sign it, so the document had no substantive legal effect.
Trump’s company later repaid the money to Cohen’s lawyer, but in order to hide the payment, Trump had violated the U.S. law of “falsifying business records.” He was suspected of burying negative news during the 2016 presidential campaign. News made many fake payments.Trump 2023 charges 34 counts of falsifying business recordsFelony chargeExpress not guilty. He also denied ever having sex with Daniels. His lawyers argued that the payments to Cohen were legitimate legal expenses and were properly recorded.
Cohen stated in his opening statement: “Trump did not have sexual relations with Daniels. He wore a nightgown and invited Daniels to dinner at his luxury villa in Lake Tahoe, California, in order to discuss his ‘apprentice’ with her in depth. program.”
Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told the jury in his opening statement that the case was an illegal payment in an illegal attempt to influence the 2016 election. “He lied over and over again about his business record in New York and covered it up.” He told the jury how Trump worked with former personal lawyer Cohen and former American Media CEO Pecker to prevent “damaging information” from being exposed, emphasizing Cohen’s credibility as a witness. Doubtful.
“CNN” interviewed other politicians about their views on the matter. U.S. Republican Senator Mitt Romney said: “Who would believe that a person paid $130,000 to an adult film actress without having sex with her?”
