Adult film star and Stormy Daniels pal Alana Evans recently told CNN that Daniels would be glad to take the stand and look former President Donald Trump “dead in the face” in court and “call out” their encounter “for what it is” via Mediaite.
It has been noted that speculation is intensifying that Daniels will be a witness in the hush money election interference trial that continues to produce fireworks in the Manhattan courtroom presided over by Judge Juan Merchan.
It has been noted that on Monday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted Evans who said that she was invited to join Trump and Stormy in the infamous alleged tryst at the center of the trial to gain insight into what Daniels might say on the stand.
Evans said Daniels will be strong and tell the truth:
“PHILLIP: Tonight, a mystery over who will be called to testify in Donald Trump’s hush money trial. When trial testimony resumes tomorrow, will Stormy Daniels be called to the stand?
My next guest is a friend and colleague of Stormy’s. In fact, Alana Evans says that she was almost in that room that night. Evans says that Stormy and Trump asked her to join them in Lake Tahoe, that Trump told her over the phone to come to party. Evans decided that she would eventually speak out publicly after the two initially denied that affair.
Alana Evans joins me now. Thank you so much for being here. I know that you’ve talked to Stormy in recent months, maybe not in the last few days, but how do you think that she’s mentally preparing for her appearance at this trial?
ALANA EVANS, ADULT ACTRESS: Thank you for having me, Abby. Stormy is an incredible woman. She’s been steadfast through this entire process. She’s been very solid. So, honestly, I would imagine that she’s ready for this. We have all been waiting for some sort of justice to come out of this situation. So, I would imagine that she’s ready for it to go through.
PHILLIP: So, Stormy has been very vocal about how this whole saga has upended her life in horrible ways. What kind of witness do you think she will ultimately be on the stand?
EVANS: Stormy has been incredibly honest since day one, as soon as she was allowed to be, you know, once they dealt with the NDA issues. I think that Stormy is going to be a strong witness. At this point, I don’t think anyone is denying the idea of what happened when we were in Tahoe. I don’t think that people still believe that there’s no truth. So, I think that Stormy has a lot of support with her time on the stand.
PHILLIP: I guess I have to say, Donald Trump does still deny that this happened. So, he’s denying it. His attorneys will also be cross- examining her when she’s on the stand, calling into question her credibility, reminding people that initially she denied this as well.
What do you think will be going through her mind when she’s in that room? She’s in a courtroom face-to-face with Donald Trump really for the first time since this affair.
EVANS: I think what’s going to be going through Stormy’s mind is this is the moment that she has to look him dead in the face and call it out for what it is and finally be able to put her voice to the truth in a way that we’ve all been waiting for.
I realize that Trump has continued to deny this, but I think so did Michael Cohen for a long time. Michael Cohen called all of us liars and we see exactly where Michael Cohen is now, standing on the side of Stormy supporting his role in this. So, I think there’s a lot of players at hand and I think that justice will prevail.
PHILLIP: Would you have any advice for her?
EVANS: I think my advice for Stormy would just be to stay strong, take a deep breath and tell your truth.
PHILLIP: You know Stormy very well. You know this story inside and out. I mean, you were a part of it. But you’ve also said that this case ultimately won’t hurt Donald Trump.
Are you talking about politically, in other ways? And why do you think so?
EVANS: In my mind, Donald Trump has fans. His supporters are fanatical. They don’t care. They’ve made it very clear it doesn’t matter what he says or what he does. They’re going to stand by him. They’re going to support him. And I think that the concern is they’ll just continue to excuse this as lies. They’ll continue to accept him for who he has presented himself, and it’s not going to change their mind. And that’s something everyone really should be concerned about.
PHILLIP: I heard you use the word justice earlier in one of your answers. I wonder, you yourself, an adult film actress, you’re caught up in a situation with Stormy Daniels, a friend of yours, and a man who is now the former president of the United States. What does it feel like to you to be characterized in that way to the entire country while Donald Trump is running for president, and according to some of the polls is tied or maybe even winning?
EVANS: You know, since all of this came out back in 2016, it’s been a very strange experience simply because, for us, it was something that happened. It was a story that happened with a man who was lifestyles of the rich and famous. He was from television. And he wasn’t someone you would ever think would become president and moving forward to when he was inaugurated and when he took those steps as this news was coming out and being labeled a liar, being told that what I had to say didn’t matter and that it wasn’t true.
It was hard. It was scary. I stayed out of the limelight other than talking to CNN or the news. So, moving forward to now, I use the word justice because I am happy to see that with everything that stormy has been put through, all of the times that we have been accused of being a liar, it brings so much happiness to me to see that now the truth is all going to be put for everyone to see through this trial. And so I’m pleased that we’re finally here.
PHILLIP: Alana Evans, thank you very much for joining us. I appreciate your time.”
