Stormy Daniels took the stand on May 7, 2024, and said she was scared and ashamed after her night with Trump in 2006.
In her testimony, Daniels described meeting Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in July 2006. She said she accepted a dinner invitation from Trump and went to his hotel suite.
Daniels testified that Trump’s wife, Melania, came up in the conversation but that Trump said, “‘Oh, don’t worry about that. We don’t even sleep in the same room.”
She said that after they had sex she quickly left and was ashamed.
Daniels said she and Trump kept in touch, testifying he would call her and that they occasionally met in person. She said at one meeting in Los Angeles he introduced her to his “friend” Karen, who she later learned was Playboy model Karen McDougal, who has also alleged she had an affair with Trump.
Trump has maintained he did not have an affair with Daniels or McDougal.
