The porn film actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, celebrated this Friday the accusation of former United States President Donald Trump for allegedly bribing her to buy her silence and celebrated that, after this accusation, “justice has been done”.
“A person in power is no longer exempt from the law, and no matter what his job is, or what his bank account says, he must be held accountable for the things he has said and done. Justice has been served,” he said. Clifford in an exclusive interview for the British newspaper ‘The Times’.
However, the adult film star has lamented that, in a certain way, Trump may manage to instrumentalize his impeachment and take advantage of it, while she fears that the former president “will continue to divide people and raise them up in arms.” . “He has already gotten away with inciting a riot and causing death and destruction,” Clifford lamented, referring to the assault on the Capitol in January 2021.
“Whatever the outcome, it’s going to cause violence and there’s going to be injuries (…). There is the potential for a lot of good things to come out of this, but inevitably, a lot of bad things will come out of it as well,” said Clifford, who has granted said interview from a secret location in the United States.
According to her, she has recounted, from the moment Trump was indicted on Thursday by the United States Justice, she has received violent threats “on all social media platforms, emails and by phone.”
In this context, she Clifford has acknowledged being scared because even Trump himself “incites violence”, although she has acknowledged not knowing to what extent she should admit it, because it would be like putting “blood in the water”. “In a way, he encourages the sharks,” she has said.
The case against Trump stems from the scandal over the possible secret payment of $130,000 (more than 120,000 euros) to Stormy Daniels by former president Michael Cohen’s former lawyer. Trump has thus become the first former US president to be charged, which could end his aspirations to return to the White House in the elections scheduled for 2024.
Trump has published a statement after his indictment in which he has denounced “political persecution and electoral interference.” “This has never been done before in the history of our nation,” he has reproached, while accusing “the Democrats of the radical left” of “a witch hunt to destroy the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement.” and has stressed that he is “a completely innocent person.”
