Stormy Daniels’ husband says there is a “good chance” the couple will leave the United States if Donald Trump is acquitted in a criminal trial over hush money payments to an adult film star.
“If I’m found not guilty, I think I need to decide what to do. Most likely to leave this country.” Bullet Blade Said CNN host Erin Burnett on Tuesday.
“If he’s found guilty, she still has to face all the hate. All of his followers think it’s her fault that he’s guilty, so either way it’s a win-win situation. I don’t think so.”
Blade’s comments came after Daniels appeared in court last week and gave powerful testimony about her alleged sexual relationship with Trump nearly 20 years ago.
Among the questions Trump asked her was, “What about testing?” Are you worried about sexually transmitted diseases? ”
Daniels also said President Trump compared her to his daughter Ivanka, saying, “When I look at you, I think of my daughter. She’s smart and blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her too.”
She testified that when she returned from the bathroom in Trump’s hotel room, she found him on his bed wearing boxer shorts and a T-shirt. Daniels said she tried to leave, but Trump stood between her and the door.
“He said, ‘I thought something would work out.’ I thought you were serious about what you wanted,” Daniels recalled.
Daniels and Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, are at the center of Trump’s historic criminal case. Prosecutors have accused Cohen of collaborating with tabloid publisher David Pecker to shut down unfavorable articles that could influence Trump’s 2016 presidential election, and that Cohen was arrested just before the election. is accused of helping pay Daniels $130,000 in hush money.
Trump has been charged with falsifying business records. Prosecutors allege that the former president misrepresented the repayments to Cohen as attorney fees.
Mr. Trump’s legal team tried to discredit Mr. Daniels, with his lawyer Susan Necheres saying, “You have a lot of experience making false stories about sex seem real.”

“I wouldn’t say that,” Daniels replied. “The sex in the movie is very real and exactly like what happened to me in that room.”
In a more pointed question, Necheles asked, “You were trying to extort money from President Trump, right?” to which Daniels replied, “That’s a lie.”
Blade was asked on CNN about accusations that Daniels had fabricated an affair. “I think she’s a great writer,” Blade said. “Then she would have written something much better about Mr. Trump’s story than what she said.”
He continued: “She wants to get through this. We just want to do what normal people can do in some ways, but we don’t know if that’s going to happen and it’s heartbreaking.
“Everyone has their own ideas for her at this point, but I don’t see people fighting back for her.”
