McBrien:

The jurors are seated and Daniels resumes: She had been at the dinner a while, and drank a couple bottles of water, so Trump directed her to the facilities, which were through a bedroom, to a "very large beautiful bathroom."

She noticed an unmade bed on her way in, and a leather-looking toiletry bag on the counter. She looked inside: she saw Old Spice and Pert Plus, and thought that was "amusing and odd." Gold tweezers, other gold things. She washed up and exited.

"I wish I had cellphone cameras at the time, because I definitely would've taken a photo of that," Daniels says.

She expected to go back to the table and say it's time to leave, but when she opened the door, Trump had come into the bedroom and onto the bed, wearing boxers.

"At first I was startled, like a jump scare...I wasn't expecting someone to be there and in not a lot of clothing," she says, and felt the blood leave her hands and her feet, like when you stand up too fast.

"Oh my god, what did I misread to get here?" she remembers thinking.

She says she laughed nervously, went to step around him posed on the bed and leave, and it all felt like slow motion. He stood up between her and the door but "not in a threatening manner," she clarifies.

Q: Did you feel threatened by him?

A: No, not physically, but there was an imbalance of power for sure. He was bigger and blocking the way, but I was not threatened, verbally or physically.

"I told very few people we actually had sex because I felt ashamed I didn't try to stop it or say no," Daniels says.

There were also details she didn't remember initially, but some of these details came back to her over the years, can she tell us about that?

Objection—overruled

Tyler McBrien: CORRECTION: I was typing too fast—Daniels said Trump was NOT wearing a condom during the encounter, and that that concerned her. My apologies.
