The adult-film actress said in an interview broadcast Thursday that she would «absolutely» testify if asked. A trial is not likely before next year.
Adult-film star Stormy Daniels said in interview broadcast Thursday that she looks forward to testifying if a criminal case brought against former president Donald Trump goes to trial.
In an indictment unsealed in Manhattan on Tuesday, Trump was accused of falsifying business records 34 times, as he wrote checks to his lawyer Michael Cohen to reimburse him for $130,000 paid to Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Daniels has said the money was to conceal a sexual dalliance, which Trump denies.
“I think having them call me in and put me on the stand legitimizes my story and who I am,” Daniels said on Fox Nation’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” Excerpts of the interview were released Thursday morning.
Based on statements during a court appearance Tuesday, it appears a trial in the case would not begin before early next year. Lawyers for Trump has said they will seek to have the charges dismissed before then.
Asked by Morgan if she would be willing to testify, Daniels said, “Absolutely.”
“Any time you’re up in the public eye it’s scary,” Daniels said.
