On Friday Madeleine Westerhout, Donald Trump’s former executive assistant, will continue her testimony in the former president’s hush-money trial. On Thursday she said she saw Mr Trump sign cheques in his office, a point central to the prosecution’s case. However, attention focused largely on Stormy Daniels, who wrapped up her account of sex with Mr Trump in 2006—an encounter he denies. Mr Trump’s lawyers suggested that, as a porn actress, she had experience of making phoney stories about sex appear real. Ms Daniels shot back: “That’s not how I would put it. The sex is real. That’s why it’s pornography.” She also said that sharing her story had, on balance, been a negative experience.
