(New York, NY)  --  Two new witnesses took the stand Friday in Donald Trump's 'hush money" trial.  

The former president's longtime assistant Rhona Graff testified that Trump's contact list included adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal. Both claim they had affairs with Trump, which he denies.  Bank executive Gary Farro testified that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen set up a bank account for the shell company Trump used to pay off Daniels.  

Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker also took the stand, and was cross-examined by Trump's attorneys.
