The woman who said she had a one-night sexual encounter with a man who became president will take the witness stand again on Thursday in a Lower Manhattan courtroom.
The witness, Stormy Daniels, on Tuesday started to tell her account — sometimes nervously, sometimes graphically and often quickly — of a liaison in a Nevada hotel suite with that man, Donald J. Trump.
The court session took its weekly Wednesday break with Ms. Daniels about to discuss the $130,000 hush-money deal paid by Mr. Trump’s former fixer, Michael D. Cohen, in the days before the 2016 election.
The 34 felony counts against Mr. Trump stem from his repayment to Mr. Cohen after he became president, and the recording of the checks as “legal expenses” at the Trump Organization.
Prosecutors say it was a deliberate mislabeling meant to conceal the hush-money deal and amount to a falsification of business records.
