Stormy Daniels is testifying about visiting Trump's hotel room and then going into the bathroom to call her friend again.
She said the call was going straight to voicemail.
While in the bathroom, she looked through his toiletry bag.
"There was a leather looking toiletry bag on the counter with products and stuff in it," Daniels says. "I did look and I'm not proud of it," Daniels says, adding, "'Ooh, I wonder what's in here?'" She continues, "The toiletries were Old Spice and Pert Plus. I thought that was amusing and odd." She added there was also a gold manicure set.
"Mr. Trump had come into the bedroom and was on the bed," she says, adding that he was wearing a boxer and T-shirts.

Stormy Daniels says she "felt like the room spun in slow motion" when she left the bathroom.
"I felt the blood leave my hands and my feet almost like if you stand up too fast," Daniels says. "I thought, 'oh my god, what did i misread to get here?'"
"At first I was just startled, like a jump scare. I wasn't expecting someone to be there, especially minus a lot of clothing," she says of Trump, who she says was sitting on the bed in boxers and a T-shirt.

"The intention was pretty clear, somebody stripped down to their underwear and is posing for you," Stormy Daniels testified.

"When I exited he was just up on the bed, like this," Daniels said, lifting her leg up from her chair.

Trying to soft-cell this as semi-non-consensual is an enormous stretch, and I bet it bites the State in the rear.
