This hearing was perhaps raunchier than many…
Porno-Star Stormy Daniels (43) has before the New York Attorney’s Office against the former US President Donald Trump (76) testified.
The focus of the investigation: hush money payments that she is said to have received from Trump so that she does not talk about the common affair.
Ex-US President Donald Trump
“At the request of the Manhattan Attorney’s Office, Stormy Daniels and I met with prosecutors today,” tweeted her attorney Clark Brewster on Wednesday. “Stormy has responded to questions and has agreed to be available as a witness or for further investigation as needed.”
The authenticity of the tweet has been confirmed by Brewster’s office. Daniels also took to Twitter to thank her attorney for “helping us in our ongoing fight for truth and justice.”
Trump’s ex-lawyer also plays a central role
The porn actress says she had sex with Trump in 2006. The US President’s ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen (56), told Congress four years ago that he had paid hush money ($130,000) to the porn star on his behalf in order to avert damage to Trump during the election campaign.

Cohen appeared again before the New York grand jury to discuss the details of the hush money payment.
Charges expected in the next few days
In the United States, a jury decides whether to indict a case after the prosecutor has presented evidence. US media assume that this will happen to Trump in the coming days. He would be the first former US President to be charged with a crime.
Trump and his current attorneys concede payment but deny Trump had anything to do with the actress.
Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple counts in court in 2018, including violating campaign finance laws for the hush money payments to Daniels. In December 2018 he was convicted.
Porn actress Daniels had unpacked all sorts of details about the affair in the past. About Trump’s best piece. It looks “like the mushroom figure in Mario Kart,” she wrote in her book In All Openness.
