Trump hush-money trial live: Heated exchanges as Trump lawyer questions Stormy Daniels - BBC News Trump hush-money trial live: Heated exchanges as Trump lawyer questions Stormy Daniels - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
We have an update in a separate Donald Trump trial. Now court has wrapped up for the day, let's recap exactly what happened when Stormy Daniels was called as witness in Donald Trump's hush-money trial.
Judge Aileen Cannon has announced she is indefinitely postponing the former president's classified documents case from the 20 May start date. Here's what the court heard:
Citing the complexity of the case and Trump's myriad of legal issues, Judge Cannon said the court was abandoning its plan to try Trump in the coming weeks. Michael Cohen paid Daniels so late that she nearly cancelled the agreement. She eventually received $96,000 after her lawyer and agent took their cut from the $130,000
She said she would produce another order to clarify a new trial date, but it is unknown when that might be released. Daniels said she hired a lawyer to get out of the deal after media began asking questions
Trump had long sought a delay in the case, which comes after a number of classified doucments were found at his home in Mar-a-Lago. Daniels awkwardly read a social media post by Trump, in which he calls her "horseface"
He is accused of retaining sensitive national security files and has pleaded not guilty to 40 felony charges in that case. In a heated cross-examination, Trump's lawyer tried to portray Daniels as a woman motivated by money and her hatred of Trump

Daniels hasn't paid Trump $560,000 she owes after she sued him for defamation and lost. She said she does not intend to pay
