“I don’t think his crimes against me deserve imprisonment. I think the other things he’s done, if he’s convicted, absolutely.”

so it has been pronounced stormy danielsthe porn film actress whom donald trump allegedly paid for him not to reveal his extramarital affair during the 2016 electoral campaign, after the former president was accused, who this week pleaded “not guilty” before the judge of the 34 charges who are accused of falsifying accounting records.

He has done so in an interview that the ‘Fox’ chain broadcasts this Thursday and whose content is advanced by the Reuters agency, which collects that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, wants to testify if the case finally goes to trial: “I do not have anything to hide. I’ve been the only one who’s been telling the truth“, he defends in the interview.

Specifically, the Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the former Republican president orchestrated a plot to bury all the information that could harm him in the 2016 electoral campaign, such as the ‘affair’ with Daniels, to whom he would have paid $130,000 which he later concealed by falsifying records accountants.

In addition, it would have also silenced another woman, the ‘Playboy’ model Karen McDougal, who also claimed to have had a relationship with him while he was married, with $150,000. The prosecutor also talks about a payment of $30,000 to a Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have information about an alleged son of the then candidate born out of wedlock.

defamation case

As for Daniels, a California court on Wednesday ruled that the actress will have to pay more than $120,000 in legal fees to Trump for a failed lawsuit for defamation, according to local media cited by the Efe agency. In 2018, she sued the mogul for defamation when he called Daniels’s account that she had been threatened by a stranger in 2011 to keep her from talking about her relationship a “scam.”

The lawsuit was dismissed and in 2022 the actress tried to appeal the decision, but a judge again ruled in favor of Trump, ordering her to pay almost $300,000 in legal fees. Daniels assured that she preferred to go to jail “before paying a penny” and appealed again, but the motion was also dismissed and only increased the debt. Lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, from the former president’s legal team, assured on her social networks that Daniels must pay a total of more than $600,000.

Stormy Daniels says her relationship with Trump took place during a golf outing in 2006, when the former president was already married to Melania Trump. When in 2016 he was looking for a medium to sell his exclusive, Trump’s then lawyer, Michael Cohenwould have paid him $130,000 to buy his silence, but the relationship ended up coming to light in 2018 and, since then, Daniels has maintained a continuous dialectical and legal fight with Trump.
