Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan on Thursday reached Day 10.

Witness Keith Davidson, a Los Angeles lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels, finished his testimony by answering more questions from prosecutors Thursday afternoon after sometimes-tense exchanges under cross-examination by defense attorneys. Davidson represented Daniels in brokering a deal in 2016 to keep an alleged tryst with Trump secret ahead of the election.

Here's what to know:

Davidson testified Tuesday that Daniels’s story became more valuable after The Washington Post in October 2016 revealed offensive comments that Trump made on a hot mic on “Access Hollywood.” When that went public, Trump and his team became extremely concerned about his reputation among female voters.

The trial is not being televised. The Washington Post has reporters in the courtroom and media overflow room who are posting live updates.

Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to his reimbursem*nt of longtime lawyer Michael Cohen for a hush money payment before the 2016 election to Daniels, an adult-film actress.
