Former President Donald Trump's alleged hush money payments trial took a dramatic turn Tuesday as adult film star Stormy Daniels took the witness stand.

Daniels faced a barrage of personal questions related to her alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, with prosecutors delving into explicit details, including descriptions of the former president's underwear.

Former assistant district attorney Jeremy Saland, in an interview on "Mornings On 1" Wednesday, suggested that even the prosecutors might have found themselves uncomfortable.

"I don't think the prosecutors wanted actually to have to go into that much detail. I think this kind of got its own head of steam and started moving," he said.

NY1 reporter Ayana Harry, who was present in the courtroom, said Trump seemed visibly red-faced and embarrassed at the defense table.

However, Saland noted that while these personal details had "nothing to do with whether or not there was an intent to mess around with and conceal what happened," it could help "establish a narrative."

"It helps establish why Donald Trump would want to do what he did, if he did," Saland said.

He criticized the defense's handling of the situation, suggesting they should have objected more forcefully.

Looking ahead, he predicted that the defense would now seek to challenge Daniels' credibility during cross-examination.

"They need to establish that this is about money for her, she changed her story," he said. "That there's an agenda here. Kind of like to deal with Michael Cohen because she's not a true teller of a story. This narrative is her own selfish narrative."
