(Dan Tri) – Porn star Stormy Daniels testified in court about the question of how she had sex with former President Donald Trump, a move that dealt a strong blow to this politician.

Former President Trump and Ms. Daniels were involved in a public legal battle involving allegations of sexual relations and a hush-money agreement paid by Mr. Trump’s legal team.
Tensions and sensitive details surrounding this issue flared up again on May 7 when Ms. Daniels first faced Mr. Trump at Manhattan criminal court, New York to provide testimony before the jury and judge.
