Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, in an interview on Tuesday, asked how widespread concerns should be about President Trump seeking a second term.
“Shouldn’t we all be worried about that?” Daniels said when MSNBC host Rachel Maddow asked her if she was concerned about Trump being elected president again.
Maddow then asked Daniels if she was “particularly worried” about Trump serving another term as president, to which Daniels replied, “I am worried.” Maddow then pressed Daniels about the reasons for her concerns.
“I think he’s going to try to make even more of an example of me,” said Daniels, a central figure in Trump’s recent hush-money trial in New York and the first former president to be convicted of a felony.
Daniels added that Trump’s “supporters may become even more emboldened, thinking that if they do something, they’ll get a pardon.”
The interview with Maddow was Daniels’ first since Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up an alleged affair during the 2016 campaign.
Ms Daniels’ lawyer said more than a month ago that Trump’s guilty verdict in the hush money case was a “huge blow to her”.
“I got a report from the court right away,” attorney Clark Brewster said in an interview on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” “and it hadn’t even been on the news yet when I told her. She was really surprised.”
“I think it was a culmination of a lot of things, the ending and the anxiety and tension she had all the way up to this incident,” he added.
