She was called back to the witness stand today with the former president sitting just feet away from daniels as his attorneys prodded her about sex, the porn industry, and more.

And daniels forcefully pushed back, saying, quote, if that story was untrue, i would have written it to be a lot better. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying Business Records to cover up that payment. Cbss robert costa starts us off tonight with the salacious details from court. Reporter former President Donald Trump has always advised his lawyers to be aggressive. Today his defense Team TargetedStormy Daniels credibility. Here we sit after 2 1 2 weeks, and i think youll see some very revealing things today. Reporter trumps attorney, susan necheles, led an often tense crossexamination of daniels, who prosecutors say accepted a 130,000 payment from trumps former attorney, Michael Cohen, before the 2016 election in exchange for keeping quiet about her story. Necheles focused on daniels highprofile appearances after news of her alleged sexual encounter with trump, which he denies, made headlines and argued daniels tried to capitalize on her fame. Necheles you wanted to make more money, right . Daniels no. Thats why i did 60 minutes for free. Did you want to have sex with him . No. But i didnt say no. Im not a victim. Reporter trumps attorney brought up daniels career of writing, directing, and acting in adult films. Necheles asked, you have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex appear real. Daniels disputed that. The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room, adding if her encounter with trump was untrue, i would have written it to be a lot better. Trump grimaced at the comment. You feel like if you had wanted to go public, you could have gotten paid a lot of money to go public . Without a doubt. I know for a fact. Reporter daniels repeatedly denied being motivated by money, and when necheles noted she was selling merchandise related to trumps indictments online, daniels replied, not unlike mr. Trump. Did the defenses strategy potentially make Stormy Daniels look sympathetic to the jury . Some jurors may have had sympathy for Stormy Daniels, and some jurors may have had contempt for her. Reporter late today, trumps lawyers pushed the judge to modify the gag order so he could comment on daniels testimony. But the judge denied that, saying it would remain in place because of trumps record of attacking witnesses with, quote, vitriol. He also rejected another call for a mistrial.
