Adult film actress Stormy Daniels is « absolutely ready » to testify at former President Trump’s hush money trial, she told ABC’s « The View » on Thursday.
Stormy Daniels is « absolutely ready » to testify at former President Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial, the adult film actress — whose hush money payment sits at the center of Trump’s criminal case — told ABC’s « The View » on Thursday.
« I’m absolutely ready. I’ve been ready. I’m hoping with all of my heart that they call me because … I don’t need someone to speak for me, » Daniels said. « I relish the day that I get to face him and speak my truth. »
Daniels made the appearance on « The View » to promote a new documentary about her life before and after her now-infamous interaction with Trump.
Defense lawyers have attempted to prevent Daniels from serving as a witness at trial by arguing her testimony would be salacious and prejudicial to the jury. The judge overseeing the case, Juan Merchan, denied Trump’s efforts this week in a ruling that cleared the way for testimony from Daniels, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, and two others who received hush-money payments ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump last April pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a $130,000 hush money payment Cohen made to Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.
