Porn star Stormy Daniels will face cross-examination Thursday by lawyers for Donald Trump, after her first turn on the witness stand drew an angry reaction from the former president.

Trump's attorneys, who began questioning Daniels on Tuesday afternoon, will likely continue their efforts to undermine her credibility and raise doubts about her account of having sex with Trump. The alleged one-night stand is a key component of the criminal hush money trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Judge Juan Merchan warned Trump's attorneys Tuesday that the former president had to stop cursing and shaking his head during Daniels' testimony, because he might intimidate her or influence the jury.

"I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that's contemptuous," Merchan said during a break in Daniels' testimony.

"It has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that," Merchan said, according to a court transcript shared Tuesday evening. "You need to speak to him. I won't tolerate that."

The judge delivered that warning at the bench, out of earshot from reporters in the courtroom, because he said he did not "want to embarrass" Trump.
