5/7
Daniels says she used bathroom after drinking 2 bottles of water, where she saw a leather toiletry bag that contained Old Spice. When she came out of the bathroom she was startled to see Trump lying back on the bed wearing only boxer shorts and a t-shirt.

5/7
Trump (in his boxer shorts) And I thought you were serious about what you wanted.

It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a cultist that Trump’s relationship with Melania is strictly business & is a Marriage In Name Only. Why hasn’t she accompanied him on a single trip in years? They even took separate cars to her mother’s funeral. It’s a sham like all things Trump.

IF AFTER :

All the criminality of Trump

All the obstruction of Republican elected officials to cover and protect his crimes

All the pundits normalize and defend the destruction of the rule of law

AND you still call yourself a Republican...

YOU ARE ANTI-AMERICAN AND A TRAITOR

She chose to work in Wicked b/c it's a condom-mandatory company. only one in business.
they talked about pro-wrestling and Vince McMahon.
Drawing smiles now from 3-4 jurors

Talking about a wrestling movie where if he loses has to shave his head.
what would you do, you're not very good to be bald?
he said oh it's all predetermined I won't lose.

She asked about Melania
He said don't worry about her, we don't sleep in the same room

He cut her off a lot
She said
Are you always this arrogant and pompous?
Someone should spank you w/ that
He rolled up magazine gave her 'the look' so she took magazine from him and swatted him on the butt

at that point he got really quiet. he had an idea that she should go on his show, 'The Apprentice.'
'No way they would let an adult actress on TV. Even you don't have that much power.'
'You remind me of my daughter. she is smart and blond

Her: I could lose right away
Trump: I'm in control and I could make sure you make a good showing.
people would take you serious. know you're not just an airhead.
she wanted to be taken seriously as writer and director.

DJT: This is your chance for somebody to see you. It's a win-win.
asked about the other girls from Wicked

She called Ilana, girl she had run into, because she wanted to prove she was w/ him. and also a girl who wasn't Wicked.
Invited her to come over and she said whatever

2 hours of conversation at this point, thought nothing worrisome. went to use bathroom

MORNING BREAK

Comparing notes w/ others in courtroom, main impression is how quickly she;s talking. she is playing to the jury, including w/ jokes, that aren't all landing. but her general story feels real, not just as in true but as in understandable and human.

Had had a couple bottles of water. (weren't drinking alcohol). went to bathroom, had to go through a bedroom.
she saw leather toiletries bag. looked inside it (not proud of that she said0. old spice gold manicure set.

tried to call friend while in there

thought time to go. when opened the bathroom door, Trump had come in and was on the bed, in boxer shirts and a t-shirt.
she was startled. felt like room spun in full motion. blood leaves my hands and feet. 'ohmygod -- what did I miss to get here?'
she laughed nervously
