NEW YORK (AP) — Witness testimony in Donald Trump’s criminal trial has advanced with the executive director of the C-SPAN archives and Keith Davidson, a lawyer who represented former Playboy model Karen McDougal and port actor Stormy Daniels in hush money negotiations, among those taking the stand. McDougal and Daniels have alleged extra-marital sexual encounters with Trump, which he denies. Charges in the case center on $130,000 in payments Trump’s company made to Michael Cohen. Prosecutors say Trump falsified the true nature of those payments in business, recording them as legal expenses. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts.
