For Daniels to say she wasn’t motivated by money makes her lose all credibility:

The jurors just heard an audio recording of Keith Davidson, Stormy Daniels's former lawyer, telling Michael Cohen that Daniels was desperate for the money and was panicked that her leverage to get it would disappear after the 2016 election because she expected Trump to lose. Davidson describes hearing Daniels say this to him on the phone, but Daniels denied it to the court shortly after the tape was played. The main goal of the defense’s questioning of Daniels this morning seems to be to establish for the jury that she was motivated by money above all else.
