Daniels recalls meeting Karen McDougal at 2007 Trump party
Stormy Daniels said she saw Trump again in January 2007 at a Hollywood party celebrating the launch of Trump Vodka.
She recalled meeting a number of Trump's friends, including a woman named Karen. It turned out to be Karen McDougal, whose allegations of an affair were bought and buried by the National Enquirer before the 2016 election, publisher David Pecker testified earlier at trial.
"Did you know her last name then?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked.
"No," Daniels said, telling jurors she later learned her name was Karen McDougal.
Hoffinger asked Daniels about visiting Trump in Trump Tower -- an interaction Trump assistant Rhona Graff testified about earlier in the trial.
Daniels described the meeting as "rushed" and "very, very brief."
"It was very brief. He was very busy," Daniels said. "It was very sort of rushed."
When asked if Trump was worried about people seeing her in Trump Tower, Daniels said no.
"Oh, no. He introduced me to everyone," Daniels said. "He just seemed busy."
