Trump trial: Judge rebukes Michael Cohen ahead of expected testimony Monday

Defense attorney Susan Necheles asked Daniels about a tour of clubs she did in 2018, which one club dubbed the "Make America Horny Again" tour.

"I did not name that tour and I fought it tooth and nail," Daniels said. "I never used that headline -- I hated it."

Daniels pushed back against Necheles suggesting that she marketed the tour by stoking animosity towards Trump. In her book, she noted how the crowds at the tour included supportive fans who opposed Trump's presidency.

"The climate in the clubs absolutely changed, but I was not selling myself to a particular demographic," Daniels said. "I just did the same job I always did."

In the courtroom, attorneys displayed an advertisement for the tour. Trump had been sitting back in his chair before the advertisement was displayed, eyes seemingly closed, but he leaned forward and stared into the monitor when it was displayed.

Defense attorney Susan Necheles tried to distance Donald Trump from efforts to hide the Stormy Daniels story from voters by highlighting the efforts to keep it hidden in 2018.

"And he wanted you to deny it, correct?" Necheles asked about Trump in 2018.

"Yes," Daniels said.

"And he wasn't running for election in 2018?" Necheles asked.

"No," Daniels said.

"He was concerned about his family, correct?" Necheles asked.

"I was never mentioned anything about his family," Daniels responded.

"But there was nothing about his election going on then?" Necheles asked.

"No," Daniels said.

"And you understand President Trump has a brand?" Necheles followed up.

"Yes," Daniels responded.

Defense attorney Susan Necheles asked Stormy Daniels about her January 2018 denial of the sexual encounter with Trump, showing her the statement she signed that has been prepared by her then-attorney.

“To be clear, I did not write this statement,” Daniels said. “I was told I had to sign it.”

"I signed it, but I did not write it," Daniels continued. "It was given to me and I was told I had to sign it."

Necheles then asked Daniels a series of questions about legal language in her nondisclosure agreement.

Jurors appeared to remain engaged -- but not to the extent that they were previously, when the testimony was more riveting.

One juror was sipping a glass of water, another was rubbing his eyes. Most were still jotting down notes or looking toward the witness stand.

Stormy Daniels testified that she didn't recall the conversation her then-attorney Davidson referenced in the secretly recorded phone call the jury just heard.

She added that Davidson referenced what someone else -- her agent Gina Rodriguez's boyfriend -- might say about the call, not her recollection of it.

"I never yelled at Keith Davidson over the phone," Daniels said. "It sounds like a threat from Keith Davidson."
