“I got a check and everything changed.” Stormy Daniels’ trust in Donald Trump

“I never thought he was trying to seduce me,” she said of the 2006 encounter. In the interview. American Vogue, and published on Tuesday, April 4, Stormi Daniels confided in Donald Trump. The latter recently became the first president to be indicted by the courts. Under the question mark? “Three shameful cases”, in the context of which the politician would try to hide campaign expenses. Among them, the Stormy Daniels case. The former head of state is indeed accused of paying 130,000 dollars (119,000 euros) to a former porn actress to buy her silence before the 2016 presidential election.

Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump reportedly had sex in the mid-2000s, when the politician was already married to Melania Trump and just the father of their son Barron. Betrayal, which he would try to hide at any cost, paying money to the former porn actress. However, that money would not be declared in the Republican candidate’s campaign account, which violates American election laws. While the former boss was served with 34 charges, he pleaded not guilty to each of them on Tuesday, April 4, before walking free from court. His trial is scheduled to begin in January 2024.

“Many knew”

In turn, Stormy Daniels lost the legal battle against the former president. On Tuesday, April 4, he was ordered to pay $120,000 (€110,000) in legal fees after losing a defamation lawsuit against the Republican. “All I know is that I got a check and everything changed,” he explained in an interview fashion, published the same day. An interview in which he talks about his meeting with Donald Trump in 2006 at a hotel in Nevada.

It all started with simple phone calls. “She would call me when I was doing hair and makeup on set and I would put her on speakerphone. many listened to him, many knew,” he said. Their paths cross for the first time at a celebrity golf tournament. Donald Trump invites him to dinner, and this without his wife and son. Then he thinks that he has booked a table in one of the restaurants of the hotel complex. But the politician welcomes him to his room in pajamas. Stormi Daniels simply slaps her bottom with a newspaper, happily telling her to “go get dressed”.

“Good Questions”

“People thought it was flirting,” the former actress recalls. This was not the case.” The duo ends up having dinner in the real estate mogul’s hotel room. Stormy Daniels wouldn’t have seen it coming at the time. “It was a kind of giant apartment. he had his own dining room. he notes. So it didn’t seem completely crazy to me to stand there or suggest that he order food.”

Before proceeding. “I never had the impression that he was trying to seduce me. He had his suit on and we chatted. He asked me questions about my work. Good questions.” The former porn star says that the politician was “smart”. “Not as much as Einstein, but he spoke complete sentences,” he says. But then the evening takes a turn she never imagined. “Sometimes I see him on TV and I’m like, ‘What happened? Who’s that guy?'” she wonders today.

90 seconds of amnesia

That evening, according to Stormy Daniels, the former president abused her. The young woman will black out for 90 seconds. “At one point, after talking with him for several hours, I got up to go to the toilet,” he recalls. And then I came out and… it was like that 90 seconds didn’t exist. I don’t know what happened. I was there, in the doorway, and suddenly he was in front of me in his underwear, doing his worst Burt Reynolds (American sex symbol of the 70s) imitation. editor’s note) to the world, and I don’t understand how I ended up under him, in the bed.”

At that time, the former actress would have thought. “His bodyguard is right in front of this door. what if i hit him? Will the bodyguard come, will he hurt me?’ After the episode ended, Donald Trump would later ask her if she wanted to “go back to her trailer.” “I never said I lived on caravan land,” he says. I just said we’re poor.”

Golden shoes

Since then, the former star of X has been occupied with a detail. “I don’t remember taking my shoes off,” he says. And that’s what bothers me. Because they were gold shoes with buckles, kind of boring to put on and take off, you know? She claims she did not consent to this intercourse. “I know I didn’t say no,” he admits. But I also know that I did not say yes. I wasn’t threatened… I just don’t know what happened.”

In 2018, the media revealed the existence of this sexual relationship and the check signed by Donald Trump. But we have to wait until next year for the actress to understand what she went through. And this is thanks to the movie Scandal (2019), which focuses on a case of global sexual harassment in the newsroom. “It was like a light bulb went on in my head,” she says.

Then he feels a deep sense of guilt. “It really hurts me that since then I read stories like mine and I think, “If I had shown up earlier, could I have stopped these incidents,” he laments. Four years later, Stormy Daniels is still at the center of a veritable media whirlwind.

“My life is crazy”

Now a fugitive in her Florida home with husband Barrett Blade, also a porn star, Stormy Daniels is keeping a close eye on the legal developments in the Donald Trump case. “For my own good, I would ask for an explanation, and I would like him to get what he deserves,” he said. But that is my personal opinion, and there are other issues that concern the country more…” The development of events, however, continues to amaze him. “You never really know how things are going to turn out,” Stormy Daniels concludes. My life is so crazy, at this point I wouldn’t even be surprised if I ever became president.”
