In her first remarks since the Manhattan District Attorney's office disclosed Donald Trump's indictment, Stormy Daniels, whose hush money payment prompted the probe, reacts on the matter, calling it "vindicating."
Stormy Daniels, an adult film star, claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006. Trump paid the woman $130,000 via his attorney to be silent before the 2016 election, even though he denies the alleged affair.
Charges may be brought since the money was submitted incorrectly and qualify as a campaign cost, according to a popular viewpoint.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Gregory Clifford, remarked that Donald Trump, despite his social status, must be held responsible for his words and deeds, according to The Hill.
In an interview with the Times of London, Stormy Daniels said, "Trump is no longer untouchable. A person in power is not exempt from the law."
While the former president is facing unspecified charges, which is a first, he is anticipated to surrender to Manhattan police this week. He may be apprehended and transported to New York if he doesn't cooperate.
"It's vindication," Daniels noted. However, she also calls the matter "bittersweet" as Donald Trump committed acts "so much worse" than what he was previously punished for.
Stormy Daniels said she understood the absurdity of her being a porn actress. "But it's also poetic; this pussy grabbed back."
Donald Trump Allegedly Nervous About the Indictment
On Friday, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, canceled weekend festivities as the former president huddled with his counsel after being surprised by the grand jury indictment for paying porn actress Stormy Daniels.
The Republican leader is meeting with advisors, who are allegedly to be "shaken" by the Donald Trump indictment announcement of several criminal charges connected to a $130,000 payment made to Daniels, according to a report from The Guardian.
Additionally, a source told the publication that although Trump had first shown "a little nervousness and somberness" in response to the indictment, he has since turned more optimistic and feels popular sentiment is in his favor and that "this will help him win the election."
The ex-POTUS was officially informed of the allegations, which have not yet been made public and are the result of a grand jury that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg appointed. The indictment was confirmed on Thursday.
Donald Trump To Face the Court, To Enter Not Guilty Plea
Donald Trump is scheduled to make a plea bargain in the case at a hearing in New York on Tuesday afternoon. The allegations were brought against him days after they were filed. Trump is anticipated to enter a not-guilty plea.
This coming week, Donald Trump will go before a judge to be charged in a New York courthouse. This will be the first time an ex-president of the United States has done so.
According to Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime fixer and a crucial witness in the case who was sentenced to prison for the payments, Donald Trump never thought that "he would ever be confronted with" such a matter, as reported by AP News.
Protests are anticipated to be widespread as a consequence of Donald Trump impending arrest, notably in New York. Every New York Police Department instructs its officers to report in uniform.
