Former President Donald Trump recently stated that he expects to be arrested in connection with the investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney next week. He went on to call for protests as New York law enforcement prepares for a possible indictment. A photo of Donald Trump’s plane taking off to fly to New York for his arrest was also leaked.
The controversy sparked around the hush money payment that Cohen admitted that he made to Stormy Daniels during the fall of Trump’s 2016 White House bid to keep her from coming forward about an alleged affair she had with the then-candidate. Trump has denied the affair.
According to TMZ, Daniels experienced the impact of Trump’s arrest and reportedly strengthened her security after receiving multiple threats. According to Stormy’s lawyer, Clark Brewster, his client recently received a lot of “vitriolic messages” on social media, which included numerous disturbing direct messages.
The alleged threats follow Trump’s announcement on Saturday that he anticipates being arrested on Tuesday by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in connection with the infamous hush-money case.
Stormy Daniels shares more details
Stormy Daniels said threats against her have escalated greatly since former President Donald Trump’s indictment, telling The Times of London “this time it’s like – I’m going to murder you.”
On Friday night’s CNN primetime coverage, anchor Kaitlan Collins played snippets of the Daniels interview with The Times of London, including the degree to which the star now fears for her safety:
And for the first time, since Trump’s indictment, we are also now hearing from the woman, at the center of it all, Stormy Daniels, who was the recipient of the hush money payout, at the center of this case. The adult film star says that the threats against her are only intensifying, tonight.
She said: “This time it’s straight up violent. You know, like, the first time it was like, gold digger, slut, whore, you know, liar, whatever. And this time it’s like – I’m going to murder you.”
She was asked: “Are you frightened?”
Daniels replied: “For the first time ever, yes.”
She added: “The first time around, I probably got a straight up, like, death threat, you know, one in 100. It’s like one in 10. And it’s especially scary because Trump himself is inciting violence and encouraging it and getting away with it.
And I don’t, I’m not afraid of him or the, you know, the government. But it just takes one crazy supporter who thinks they’re doing, you know, God’s work or you know, protecting democracy, you know. And it’s – I mean I’m just looking at a couple of things that have come through in the last two hours and they’re way more violent and graphic.”
Stormy Daniels spoke out about whether or not it was worth ever sharing her story. She said:
“I get these moments where I get emotional and I’m like, “I wish I’d never done this. This was so stupid. What the f*** was I thinking?” But I’d still do the same thing because it was the right thing to do. If I could go far enough back to where I didn’t go to the hotel room that night, I stand by that. I wouldn’t have done it. But if I go back only so far as coming forward, I would – I would do the same thing again.”
