NECHELES: They said you were supposed to include detail in your testimony?
DANIELS: “There’s nothing wrong with preparing a witness, I would hope that any attorney would do that.”
DANIELS: There is nothing wrong with detail, they are “truthful facts”. And I don’t need to match things to my book.

NECHELES: “You know there is no way to check on the details of what you said happened.”

[ME: Sure there is-- your client, Donald Trump, can take the stand and testify if he has a different story to tell.]
NECHELES: You testified yesterday that when you were asked to dinner [via Keith Schiller], you said no fucking way. But in your In Touch interview, you said Donald Trump asked you to dinner.
DANIELS: Correct.
DANIELS: Like I said, bodyguard/handler is a unit.
DANIELS: This is an entertaining version of the events

Stormy standing her ground here with Necheles over a prior tweet where Daniels retweeted someone calling her a "human toilet": “EXACTLY! MAKING ME THE BEST PERSON TO FLUSH THE ORANGE TURD DOWN"

NECHELES: “You continue to make money off of selling a story that you promised would put Trump in jail.”
DANIELS: No. Show me where i said i would be instrumental in putting him in jail.
DANIELS: “I don’t see the word instrumental, or jail.”
NECHELES: When you said you were the best person to flush the orange turd down, you were not going to be instrumental?
DANIELS: It was hyperbole.
NECHELES: That was referring to Trump?
DANIELS: It doesn’t say that so that’s up to your interpretation.
DANIELS: “I’m also not a toilet.”
DANIELS: If someone can make fun of me, I can make fun of them.
NECHELES: “What did you mean when you said orange turd”?
DANIELS: “Oh I absolutely meant Mr. Trump”
When Trump got indicted:

NECHELES: What you were saying [in your tweet] was that you were drinking champagne because you were celebrating, right?
DANIELS: Right
NECHELES: And that was you shilling your merchandise, right?
DANIELS: “That was me doing my job.”
NECHELES: Selling your merchandise?

NECHELES: “Michael Avenatti was helping you to get all this publicity, right?”
DANIELS: “He did arrange to get me on CNN and The View, but everything else he took for himself.”

NECHELES: You were going to make lots of money and negotiate a book contract, $800,000?
DANIELS: Yes.

NECHELES: In addition to the $130,000?
DANIELS: I did not receive 130. I also didn't receive the $800,000; my commission was stolen from me.
NECHELES: Am I correct that the centerpiece of your book is about your story of supposedly having sex with president trump?
DANIELS: “Sadly, I thought that’s what a lot of people would turn to first,” but it started with me at 2 years old.
NECHELES: After you wrote the book, you went on tour …”Make America Horny Again.”
DANIELS: “I did not name that tour, and I fought it tooth and nail.”

NECHELES: You continued this strip club tour in 2018, 2019?
