Daniels: I'm not afraid to confront Trump, I get threats
Donald Trump is no longer untouchable, porn star Stormy Daniels said last night in her first interview after the grand jury in Manhattan indicted the former US president.
Daniels told The Times of London that she noticed people were reacting differently to the allegation than a few years ago, when the first press reports of her sexual encounter with Trump were published.
– At the beginning it was like "sponsor, whore, liar",... things like that. And this time it is "I will kill you" - said Daniels.
A grand jury voted to indict Trump after months of hearing evidence about a $130.000 payment to Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 campaign. The money was meant to buy her silence about the sexual relationship she says they had years before.
Trump denied Daniels' claim, and his lawyer accused the woman, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, of extortion.
She says she doesn't fear the idea of facing Trump in court because she's seen him naked and "there's no way he's going to be any scarier with his clothes on." But she feels the seriousness of the situation and the possible danger.
- Whatever the outcome, there will be violence, there will be injuries and deaths - said Daniels.
