Ick • Ugh • Sigh [View in your browser]( | [Update your preferences](newsletter=vf) [Vanity Fair Hive logo image]( Stormy Daniels Went Into Detail, Great Detail, at Donald Trump’s Trial Good morning. In vivid detail, from a Lower Manhattan courtroom Tuesday, Stormy Daniels guided the jury in Donald Trump’s criminal trial to the hotel suite in Lake Tahoe where she has said she and the ex-president had sex nearly 20 years ago. Daniels’s [stomach-churning]( account is at the core of the first-ever criminal trial of a US president, one that has darted between dry details of financial records and a historic sex scandal. Dan Adler was among the reporters in court and [notes that](, at the defense table, while Daniels testified, Trump stared straight ahead, periodically whispering to attorney Susan Necheles, the only woman among the lawyers that accompany him each day. At one point, Daniels added that Trump did not wear a condom during the alleged sexual encounter, one of the details she shared that led Trump’s lawyers to call for a mistrial, a request the judge did not grant. Daniels is expected to return to the stand on Thursday. Elsewhere, Eric Lutz has [the latest]( on Marjorie Taylor Greene losing her game of chicken with House Speaker Mike Johnson as she now appears to be shifting her aims from ousting him in a vote to finding “ways to move forward.” Plus, Bess Levin [remarks]( on how Trump—who, yes, was once president and looks in the mirror and apparently sees a Hemsworth looking back—reportedly mocked a Democratic senator’s weight during a weekend fundraiser in Mar-a-Lago, claiming the guy “looks pregnant.” Thanks for reading.
