Stormy Daniels entered the witness box on Tuesday to give evidence in the hush money trial of former president Donald Trump.

Daniels was expected to give evidence about a sexual encounter that she says she had in 2006, which resulted in her being paid to keep silent during the presidential election 10 years later.
