Donald Trump's former White House assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, kicked off this week's final day of testimony
She described a complex system to get mail - including cheques - from Trump Tower to the White House, where he signed some cheques without reviewing them
The jury has also heard from paralegals and phone analysts who were questioned on details to do with phone records
The key witness in the trial, Trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen, says he expects to testify next week
Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 (£104,300) hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels before he won the 2016 election
He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of fraud and also denies having any sexual encounter with her

Court has paused so everyone can get some lunch.
As an aside, today's been a day of duelling first names.
Trump defence attorney Susan Necheles and prosecutor Susan Hoffinger squared off during their respective questioning of Stormy Daniels.
Now, prosecutor Rebecca Mangold is questioning the latest witness, Trump Organization bookkeeper Rebecca Manochio.

After what was unquestionably the most dramatic testimony of the trial so far, with Stormy Daniels, prosecutors have brought on a significantly more staid witness.
Prosecutors have established a rhythm of bookending bigger witnesses who provide more salacious testimony, like Daniel's ex-lawyer Keith Davidson, with documents witnesses and lower-energy characters.
They also use their testimony to introduce evidence that will bring us to key witnesses later on.
Meanwhile, Daniels was photographed leaving the courthouse moments ago.

Rebecca Manochio's testimony is drastically different from Stormy Daniels'.
After two days of questioning about an alleged sexual encounter, we're now back to the heart of the case - books and financial records.

We're hearing from Rebecca Manochio because earlier we heard from another witness, Deb Tarasoff, that Manochio was the one who sent cheques to the White House for Trump to sign while he was president.
"I FedExed them" about once a week, she tells the court.
Some of those cheques were reimbursements for Michael Cohen for paying $130,000 to Stormy Daniels. We saw them in evidence earlier in the trial.

Donald Trump appears to briefly smile, one of the few times today, after prosecutors ask Rebecca Manochio why Trump left New York in 2017.
He left to be “the President of the United States”, Manochio says, prompting the grin from Trump.

We have our next witness. It's a junior bookkeeper at the Trump Organization, Rebecca Manochio.
She says she worked for former CFO Allen Weisselberg and former controller Jeff McConney.
Manochio is a small woman with a soft voice, and the judge reminds her to speak into the microphone.
"I worked at a supermarket and then I got a job at the Trump Organization in August 2013," she says.

Trump's lawyer Susan Necheles returns back to the podium.
She shows Stormy Daniels her response to a threatening tweet, in which she called the person "dumb" and said she would dance on the streets if Donald Trump was put in jail.
“You can be nasty, right?” Necheles asks.
Yes, Daniels says.
"Thank you Ms Daniels, you can step down."
And with that, two days of dramatic testimony from Stormy Daniels concludes.
Donald Trump did not look in her direction as she walked away.

Assistant District Attorney Susan Hoffinger, towards the end of her re-direct, tries to rebut the biggest thread that Trump’s lawyer pursued: that Daniels went public for money and publicity.
“Have you been telling lies about Mr Trump or the truth about Mr Trump?” Hoffinger asks Daniels.
“The truth,” Daniels says.
Daniels says that telling her story has also cost her money.
She says that she had to move “a couple times” and hire security, plus she lost a defamation claim against Trump and was ordered to pay his legal fees.
"Was telling her story a negative or net positive on her life?" Hoffinger asks.
"Negative," Daniels responds.

We’re looking at a series of social media posts which are being displayed by prosecutors.
The messages include threats toward Stormy Daniels, such as that she should be careful walking outside.
The prosecution's Susan Hoffinger seems to be trying to help reinforce Daniels' argument that she was motivated to sign the non-disclosure agreement for safety reasons.

No cameras were allowed inside the courtroom today, so we will rely on the courtroom artist to show us the scenes from Daniels' testimony.

Daniels seems to be more relaxed as prosecutors resume their questioning.
She occasionally smiles in response to Susan Hoffinger’s questions and is still giving succinct answers.
There was a lighter moment when she was asked about the indictment, and she joked there are a lot of indictments.

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is trying to address Stormy Daniels’ motivation for signing the non-disclosure agreement, after Susan Necheles implied the adult film star was motivated by money.
Hoffinger asks Daniels if her intention with signing the document was to create a paper trail and thus ensure her safety.
Yes, Daniels says.
But you weren’t denying that you were also happy about the money, right? Hoffinger asks.
“We’re all happy to take money. It was just a bonus,” Daniels says.

There’s a lot you can tell just from body language.
Stormy Daniels was leaning casually to the side in her seat, resting on the chair’s arm.
While waiting for the prosecution’s redirect, she even threw her arm against the backrest of the chair and played with her hair.
She doesn’t appear to be intimidated or nervous today.

Susan Necheles has just finished her cross-examination.
She ends her questioning with a summary of her main argument.
Isn’t it a fact, Necheles asks, that “you never had an affair with president Trump, but realised you could earn money” off the story?
Prosecutors immediately raise an objection that is sustained, so Daniels can’t respond.
After a long sidebar at the bench, Susan Hoffinger of the Manhattan DA's office begins her re-direct.
It's a chance for the prosecutors to pick up on any threads from the defence's questioning they want to address.
Susan Necheles is now showing Instagram posts from Stormy Daniels tour of clubs around the country, the so-called "Make American Horny Again" tour.
Daniels appears in colourful lingerie in each post along with the tagline that plays off of Trump's famous campaign slogan.
A monitor has been set up in front of Donald Trump in the courtroom, slightly to his left, so that he can view evidence.
As Necheles enters each posts into evidence, they flash across the screen in front of him. With the press' view in the courtroom limited to the back of his head, we can't tell if Trump is looking at them.
But he often appears to be pointing his gaze past the monitor and straight ahead for much of today's testimony.

After hours of testimony, Stormy Daniels appears to be growing slightly frustrated.
She is occasionally squinting at Donald Trump's lawyer Susan Necheles. This happens when questions are asked that perhaps Daniels disapproves of.
Her testimony is quite different than Tuesday’s, when she gave lengthy, almost rambling answers with unnecessary details.
Today, her questions are more succinct.

Trump has returned to the courtroom after a short break.
Before he takes a seat, he turns around to face the press, surveying the rows of journalists assembled to cover his trial.

Reporting from New York
As we mentioned earlier, Florida Senator Rick Scott accompanied Trump in court, and a short while ago he made some comments outside to reporters.
Scott parroted Trump's regular talking points, that this trial is “pure political persecution” and that Democrats don’t want him on the ballot in November.
Scott said Trump had a great record on the economy and securing the southern border with Mexico.
He isn’t the first politician to appear here in New York as a Trump campaign surrogate, and probably won’t be the last.
It’s a good opportunity for Republicans to show their loyalty to the former president, who perhaps values nothing more.
After an intense hour of questioning, we're taking a 15-minute break.
It's a jam-packed courtroom today for the second day of testimony from Stormy Daniels. More than 200 members of the public were turned away this morning because there wasn't enough seats for everyone inside.
But outside the courthouse is a different story.
There's only a very small handful of protesters.
