NEW YORK — Stormy Daniels, facing tough questions from Donald Trump’s defense team as she returned to the witness stand following her bombshell testimony on the alleged Lake Tahoe tryst with the former president, fended off accusations she’d made the story up.

Keying in on a central part of Daniels’ testimony about her encounter with Trump, defense lawyer Susan Necheles during hush money trial proceedings Thursday skeptically asked Daniels about having appeared in porn movies with “naked women and naked men” yet being startled by Trump on a bed in a T-shirt and boxers.

Daniels said that coming out of the bathroom to find a man twice her age “in his underwear, you’re not expecting to be there” was different.

“This was not the first time in your life someone had made a pass at you?” Necheles asked at one point.

“It is the first time they had a bodyguard standing outside the door ... and were in their underwear and were twice my age,” Daniels shot back.

She later said her “own insecurities” kept her from refusing.

Trump, 77, has pleaded not guilty to felony charges alleging he covered up a $130,000 reimbursement to fixer Michael Cohen for handling the hush money payoff to Daniels, logging it in the books as payment for legal fees.

Necheles repeatedly cast doubt on Daniels’ account, at one point asking her if she is experienced in fabricating “phony sex stories” as a porn star to which Daniels replied that the sex was “very real.”

“If this story wasn’t true, I would have written it to be a lot better,” Daniels snapped back a few moments later, to some apparent amusement from jurors.

As Daniels described how Trump sat on his hotel room couch the night of their tryst, he furrowed his brow, looking mad and a little disgusted. When there was a mention of Michael Avanatti mulling a run for president, Trump smirked.
