Trump also assured Daniels that he and Melania didn't “even sleep in the same room," she testified

After meeting the future president of the United States at a golf tournament in 2006, adult film star Stormy Daniels testified Tuesday that Donald Trump's personal bodyguard asked if she would like to have dinner with the once-and-future Republican nominee.

"No, with an expletive in front," Daniels said she told the aide in response, per NBC News. But she reconsidered after meeting with her publicist, she said, recalling their words: "If nothing else, you'll get a great story" and "what's the worst that could happen?"

But, according to Daniels, dinner never happened. When she got to Trump's hotel room, she found him in pajamas -- he later changed -- and eager to discuss her work in the adult film industry, where she had risen from performer to director, and whether she had ever contracted and STD ("I've never tested positive for anything," Daniels said).

I thought the trial is about her getting paid not to talk about sleeping with him, not if she got paid to sleep with him.

Technically it’s about how she was paid, not about the keeping quiet.

It’s legal to pay someone to do something and pay them to not talk about it. NDAs are already a thing. You’re just not allowed to pay for it with campaign funds, it’s expected to come out of your own pocket

Now you're just splitting hairs. She received 6 figures..and 3 inches

There's a tradeoff between precision and conciseness. Outside of a mathemadickal context, it doesn't really matter whether it's 2.72 or 3.14 inches.

Obligatory XKCD about coordinate precision

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
