During the trial, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass argued that it was implausible for Donald Trump to pay $130,000, which doubled after taxes, simply for taking a photo with someone on a golf course. This statement was made in response to evidence presented to the jury, which included a photo of Trump wearing a golf shirt alongside Stormy Daniels on May 7.
Stormy Daniels testified that she had a brief encounter with Trump in 2006 at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. She described the meeting as short and mentioned that it took place during the tournament.
