Daniels has alleged she had a sexual encounter with Trump a decade before the 2016 presidential election. Trump has denied it.
By Michael R. Sisak, Jennifer Peltz, Eric Tucker and Jake Offenhartz, Associated PressFormer President Donald Trump speaks to reporters at Manhattan criminal court in New York, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger led off by asking Daniels about her upbringing in Louisiana. Daniels talked about having grown up poor and wanting to become a veterinarian. Testimony has made clear that at the time of the payment to Daniels, Trump and his campaign were reeling from the Oct. 7, 2016, publication of the never-before-seen 2005 “Access Hollywood” footage in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitals without their permission.
The first witness Tuesday was Sally Franklin, an executive at Penguin Random House, which published several of Trump’s books through one of the company’s imprints. The testimony from Jeffrey McConney yielded an important building block for prosecutors trying to pull back the curtain on what they say was a corporate records cover-up of transactions designed to protect Trump’s Republican presidential bid during a pivotal stretch of the race. It focused on a $130,000 payment from Cohen to Daniels and the subsequent reimbursement Cohen received.
The $1,000 fine imposed Monday marks the second time since the trial began last month that Trump has been sanctioned for violating the gag order. He was fined $9,000 last week, $1,000 for each of nine violations.
