The Donald Trump hush money trial continued, but things picked up even more as Stormy Daniels, the porn star he slept with after Melania gave birth to Baron, finally testified. As expected, things got intense when Trump reportedly fell asleep once again.

As for Stormy Daniels' testimony, the former adult film actress described how she met Donald Trump during a celebrity golf tournament. There, she stated that she went to the real estate mogul's Lake Tahoe hotel room and talked about her sexual encounter with him.

CNN noted that as she testified, Daniels had a casual and conversational tone when she recounted the details of the hotel room where she slept with the former president. She even recreated the moment Trump posed on his hotel bed for her while just wearing his underwear.

Daniels' testimony was so explicit that Judge Juan Merchan had to cut her off several times. This was when Trump's lawyers pounced and argued that Daniels was unfairly getting the jury prejudiced, so they asked the judge for a mistrial. However, Merchan shut them down and denied their request. He also told Daniels that some of the details of her encounter were "better left unsaid."

When Trump's lawyers cross-examined Daniels, she admitted that she hates Trump and wants him to be held accountable. While the defense lawyers were trying to poke holes into her credibility, she stood her ground and answered "false" and "no" while disputing the Trump lawyer's assertions that she had made up details in her story, as well as his accusations of her trying to extort Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Was Cursing Audibly While Stormy Daniels Testified, Gets Warning From Judge

Things got "stormy" in court in more ways than one, as Trump was visibly unhappy with what Daniels was testifying before the jury. He was reportedly cursing throughout the testimony and this was heard by many inside the courtroom.

Of course, this led to some scolding from Judge Juan Merchan, who told Trump attorney Tood Blanche, "I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don't want to embarrass him. You need to speak to him. I won't tolerate that."

According to the Associated Press, Trump was still fuming after the hearing as he continued whining outside the courthouse. He claimed that it was "a very revealing day" and added that the prosecutors' case was "totally falling apart" without providing any details as to why.

What Did Stormy Daniels Say During Her Testimony?

In her testimony, Daniels told the just that Trump was wearing silk pajamas during their sexual encounter and was asking her several "business-like" questions about her family and her work in the adult film industry.

According to the BBC, Daniels also testified that Trump likened her to his daughter, Ivanka, and stated that people tended to underestimate them because they were both beautiful. As to why she decided to sell her story, she stated that she did so after hearing someone else was planning to.

She added that she was not motivated by the money and "didn't care" about the sum she eventually received from then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
