Stormy Daniels on Tuesday detailed how vitriol leveled at her by Donald Trump supporters has significantly ramped up following the former president’s hush money case conviction.
The death threats “are so much more graphic and detailed and brazen,” porn actor Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in a lengthy interview.
“People don’t care. It’s scary,” she said.
There have been threats on Facebook “from people in my own community” and chilling warnings about the rape and murder of her family members — including her young daughter ― she revealed.
Daniels recalled being doxxed while giving evidence as a witness during the trial. Her mailbox was “destroyed,” she said; her animals have been injured, and she is now terrified to venture outside over a fear of being followed.
Thinking there was an end in sight to the nightmare had kept her going amid the trial, Daniels told Maddow. But for every person who’d celebrated Trump’s conviction, there was another “very upset,” she noted.
“It just poured gasoline on some of the stuff that I had been going through the entire time,” she said of Trump’s conviction.
When Daniels was asked if she feared Trump returning to the White House, she envisioned him trying to make an example of her. She suggested his followers may be “more bold” in the future because they could perhaps obtain a presidential pardon from him for any illegal acts.
Trump was in May found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment that was made to Daniels ahead of the 2016 election that intended to silence her over their earlier sexual encounter.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee was due to be sentenced on July 11, but that has now been pushed back to September.
That’s because Trump’s legal team filed a motion asking his conviction be thrown out following the Supreme Court’s ruling that he had total immunity for “official” acts, even though the hush money scheme happened before the 2016 vote.
