'It was very stimulating': Long-time Trump Organization employee Rhona Graff testifies against Donald Trump in hush money trial

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Long-time Trump Organization employee Rhona Graff, who is also considered a "gatekeeper" to former President Donald Trump, has testified on Friday, April 26, in the hush money case against him.

New York prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Graff if she ever saw adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the office at Trump Tower. The senior vice president of the Trump Organization said she had a “vague recollection" of seeing her in the reception area before the 2016 election.

Defense lawyer Susan Necheles cross-examined Graff. When asked about her 34-year tenure, Graff said, “I never had the same day twice in all that time.  It was very stimulating, exciting….," reports Fox News. Necheles then asked Graff if she recalled Trump considering Daniels for his reality show 'The Apprentice.'

Graff testified that she vaguely recalled it that Stormy would be an interesting addition. Necheles asked if Daniels was at Trump Tower to discuss being cast for 'The Apprentice' and Graff said that she assumed so based on office chatter.
