​The grand jury indictment against former US President Donald Trump is “bitter revenge”, “monumental” and “epic”, the film star told The Times in an interview with British adult newspaper Stormy Daniels. , who was at the center of the “money for silence” scandal. Although she says she is “proud”, she says she fears for her safety and that regardless of the outcome of this legal saga, she believes “there will be deaths and injuries”.

The bad has already begun for Stormy Daniels. The former porn star claims that a few hours after the indictment of the ex-president, she received an avalanche of insults and threats, and admitted that she was scared for the first time.

According to her, threats of violence are received on all social networks, e-mail and phone. “It’s especially scary because Trump himself incites violence and encourages it,” the adult film star said.

According to CNN, Daniels was scheduled to appear on Britain’s TalkTV on Friday afternoon for an exclusive interview with the show’s host, Piers Morgan. However, Piers Morgan wrote on his official Twitter account that Daniels had to “abruptly postpone” the interview minutes before it was due to start due to “security concerns”.

However, she spoke from a confidential location in the US to The Times reporters.

“Trump is no longer untouchable,” Stormy Daniels commented. “A person in power is not exempt from the law. And no matter what job you have or what’s in your bank account, you’re responsible for what you said and did, and justice has been served, she said.

“BITTER REVENGE”

That didn’t seem to be the case for Donald Trump, a former president who spent his entire life avoiding legal consequences. “It’s revenge,” Daniels admitted, more warily than triumphantly. “But it’s bittersweet. He did so many worse things that he should have been destroyed earlier,” she told The Times.

While charges against Trump have yet to be made public, prosecutors are investigating a $130,000 payment Trump allegedly sent to Stormy Daniels, 44, during the 2016 campaign to keep the porn star quiet about a relationship she may have had with him.

On Tuesday, the 76-year-old former president must surrender to the police. He became the first American president in history – former or current – to be criminally prosecuted.

“It’s monumental and epic and I’m proud of it,” Daniels commented. “But the downside is that he will continue to divide people and incite them to fight. He has already succeeded in inciting riots and causing death and destruction. Whatever the outcome, there will be violence, injuries and deaths.” , says Daniels. “A lot of good can come out of this. But, in any case, a lot of bad will also come out of it,” she commented.

“Something VERY IRONIC AND FUN”

After storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump supporters felt more emboldened, she believes. “The country is more divided, and people are in despair. I’m not afraid of him or the government, but it only takes one crazy supporter who thinks he’s doing God’s work or protecting democracy,” Daniels said.

However, her fears are not related to the prospect of facing Trump in court. “I’ve seen him naked. There’s no way he’s scarier in his clothes,” she joked.

Daniels, whose birth name is Stephanie Clifford, has not yet been formally called to testify against Trump. “I hope I have to,” she said.

Except for a Zoom phone call with prosecutors, she did not participate in months of closed-door testimony.

News of the indictment, which broke Thursday afternoon in the United States, was, she said, “a shock.”

“It’s kind of ironic and funny that I found out about the accusations when I was riding a horse called Redemption,” she says. An accomplished equestrian, Daniels used part of the $130,000 she received from Trump through attorney Michael Cohen to buy a horse trailer.

According to Daniels, she had sex with Trump in a hotel room in Nevada in 2006. Trump claims he never slept with her, although he admits he gave attorney Michael Cohen $130,000. Cohen, a former attorney and intermediary for Trump, served three years in prison for tax evasion and campaign finance. He then switched sides, becoming a key figure in the prosecution of Trump.

TRUMP WILL COME TO NEW YORK ON MONDAY

According to the indictment approved by the grand jury, Trump will face more than 30 charges related to business fraud in addition to those directly tying him to the Stormy Daniels scandal, sources told CNN. The indictment remains sealed, meaning the exact charges have not yet been made public.

The former president is expected to be formally charged in Manhattan Criminal Court next Tuesday at around 2:15 p.m. local time (9:15 p.m. Romanian time), two sources familiar with the case told CNN.

CNN also reports sources that the former president will leave for New York as early as Monday. Over the weekend, Trump will stay at Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach estate.

The Manhattan district attorney’s investigation began while Trump was still in the White House and concerns a $130,000 payment made by then-Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in late October 2016, days before the 2016 presidential election. In exchange for the money, Daniels had to keep quiet and not publicize an alleged relationship with Trump that began a decade ago, an affair that Trump has denied.

The hidden payments are not illegal, but before the indictment, prosecutors considered charging Trump with falsifying the Trump Organization’s accounting records for how they reflected the payment of money to Cohen, which he then transferred to Daniels. In New York, falsifying a tax return is a misdemeanor, a misdemeanor.

Prosecutors were also considering whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records to commit another felony or aiding or abetting another felony: violating campaign finance laws, a more serious felony punishable by one to four years in prison. To prove this case, prosecutors would have to prove that Trump intended to do it.

WHAT DOES TRUMP EXPECT NEXT?

The former president was first asked to surrender on Friday in New York, his lawyer said, but his defense asked for more time, so Trump is expected in court on Tuesday.

As for the former president’s first appearance in court, in some ways he will look like any other defendant, but in others he will look very different. He will be fingerprinted and photographed, but he will not be handcuffed.

Trump was taken by surprise by the grand jury’s decision to indict him, according to a person who spoke directly to him. As the former president prepared for impeachment last week, he began to believe media reports that potential impeachment was weeks or more away.

The former president has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and continued to attack Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other Democrats after the allegations emerged.
