Stormy Daniels returned to the witness stand on Thursday in Donald Trump's New York criminal case.

The court was back in session after an off day on Wednesday.

Daniels was on the stand for several hours on Tuesday. Much of her testimony centered on her alleged sexual encounter with Trump in a hotel room.

Judge Juan Merchan rejected a defense request for a mistrial due to her testimony.

She was later paid during the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about the encounter even though Trump denies it ever happened.

On Tuesday, Daniels talked about meeting Trump at the Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament. Daniels said she declined a dinner invitation from Trump but his bodyguard took her phone number and later messaged her to come to his hotel.

She was planning to go to dinner with people from her company but her publicist encouraged her to go to dinner with Trump instead.

When she went into the hotel room she says Trump was wearing satin pajamas.

She testified that she asked Trump to change and he returned wearing a dress shirt and dress pants.

Daniels testified that Trump said it was too early for dinner and started asking questions about her life and work.

She claimed that Trump told her that she should go on his television show, The Apprentice.

She says they talked for about two hours.  She says she went to the bathroom and returned to Trump sitting on the bed in his boxers and t-shirt.

She said that startled her but a short time later she was undressed and in bed with him.

Daniels testified that after the sex was over, "I just left as fast as I could. That was it."

She claimed that Trump did not ask her to keep quiet about the encounter.

Daniels said she began speaking with Trump often, as often as once a week and met several times in public.

She said she continued to meet with them because she thought participation in The Apprentice could still be in play.
