Porn star Stormy Daniels wore a bulletproof vest as she headed to court to make salacious claims about Donald Trump because she feared someone might do something to her. His lawyer said it was because he was afraid.
Daniels, 45, was “paralyzed with fear” two days before testifying about her alleged affair with President Trump, which is at the heart of her hush-money criminal trial, her lawyer Clark Brewster said. . he told CNN late Monday.
“She was worried about security coming into New York.” Brewster told CNN on Monday. “She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she went to court.”
Daniels “cried to sleep” before coming to New York to testify for more than eight hours last Tuesday and Thursday, her lawyer said.
“She was paralyzed with fear. It wasn’t about taking a stand or telling her story, it was about what these weirdos were going to do to her,” he said. “And I’m really concerned about that, too.”
Daniels shockingly admitted on stage that he disliked Trump, but denied allegations that he was “trying to extort money” from the former president.
Daniels claimed her primary motive for coming forward about her 2006 tryst with a married Trump was not money, but rather to “get the word out.”
Trump is accused of having his lawyer Michael Cohen pay Daniels money to “corrupt” the 2016 election and then trying to cover it up by falsifying his business records throughout 2017. He has been indicted.
The former president and presumptive 2024 Republican nominee has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to $130,000 paid to Daniels before the 2016 election.
He has maintained his innocence and denounced the incident as politically motivated.
