Donald Trump’s defense worked to paint the picture that Stormy Daniels attempted to financially benefit from his wealth and fame, per reports.
Former President Donald Trump’s defense on Thursday seemingly worked to paint the picture that porn actress Stormy Daniels attempted to financially benefit from his wealth and fame, according to reports.
Daily Caller courts reporter Katelynn Richardson noted that during the defense’s cross-examination of the porn star, who nearly blew the trial for the prosecution on Tuesday, Trump attorney Susan Necheles was “pushing to show Daniels was motivated by money when she entered into her 2016 NDA [non-disclosure agreement].”
Daniels notes she did the 2018 Anderson Cooper interview for free.
Necheles: After the interview, you negotiated a book contract for $800,000?
Daniels: Yes

“She suggests Daniels stopped talking to a Slate reporter interested in the story because she wanted to be paid,” Richardson noted.
While Daniels emphasized during her questioning that she was not compensated for an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in 2018, Necheles said the porn star landed a nearly seven-figure book deal after the interview, according to Richardson.
