Donald Trump's hush-money trial continues in New York with the third week of witness testimony.
Adult-film star Stormy Daniels is on the stand and has described an alleged sexual encounter with Trump at a golf tournament, which he denies happened.
Daniels is beginning to tell her side of the hush-money deal struck in October 2016.
She says she came to understand that Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, were trying to buy her story about an alleged sexual encounter.
Her manager, Gina Rodriguez, alerted her to what was happening, she explains.
Daniels testifies that she understood Cohen was representing Trump, and that Cohen was “interested in paying for my story".
She says that a deal would have been a win-win, because she didn't want her partner finding out about the alleged encounter with Trump and she would've been paid.
She adds that she didn't try to negotiate the $130,000 price for her story that Cohen ended up paying - because, Daniels says, she "didn't care" about the money.
Daniels testifies she was financially successful at the time.
Tensions rise in the courtroom as Judge Merchan asks Daniels to keep her answers brief, and for the prosecution to cut out explicit questions.
This historic trial revolves around a 2016 hush-money payment Trump made to Daniels.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal the payment.
Prosecutors estimated on Monday that they would need two more weeks to conclude their case.
