Stormy Daniels news – latest: Adult star tells Piers Morgan of ‘suicide bomber’ threats

Oliver O'Connell

Piers Morgan’s interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels on TalkTV in the UK has wrapped up with Daniels advising Donald Trump to tell the truth.

The presenter said his conversation with Daniels on Piers Morgan Uncensored, was “one of the best interviews [he’s] ever done”. She revealed she feels sorry for Mr Trump, gets suicide bomb-style threats, and would rather go to jail than pay him money connected to their defamation case.

Originally scheduled for last week, the interview was postponed at the last minute due to “security reasons”.

Daniels made headlines in 2018 when she came forward with an allegation that she had been in a romantic extramarital relationship with the president in 2006, and had been threatened and later bribed to stay quiet.

The former president was arrested this week as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s grand jury investigation into a $130,000 hush money payment he is accused of making to Daniels 2016 via his then-lawyer Michael Cohen, in exchange for her silence.

Mr Trump has denied the accusations and insisted the money was paid to Mr Cohen to cover unrelated legal expenses.

While Donald Trump’s historic appearance in a New York courtroom on criminal charges may have been a dark day for the former president, his arrest has been a boon for his tormentor Stormy Daniels.

The adult actress, who is a central figure in the hush money payments that led to 34 falsifying business records charges being brought against Mr Trump, has been using it to cash in on her increased notoriety.

Mr Trump appeared grim-faced as he faced a judge and pleaded guilty to the charges he now faces, while Ms Daniels has taken full advantage of the free publicity she has gained.

Stormy Daniels said that she felt “sad” to see Donald Trump make history as the first president to be arrested and arraigned in court on criminal charges linked to hush money payments he made to her.

The adult film actor told Piers Morgan that she had expected to be “excited” to see the former president appear before a New York judge but instead admitted she found her actual emotions on the day “shocking.”

“At first I thought I would be really excited when that day finally came as I did not think it would, and then I really didn’t think it would.

“I thought he was going to get away with not being held accountable. When I found out it was coming, or potentially coming I thought I would feel excited or vindicated but it was kind of anticlimactic,” she told Morgan on TalkTV.

Mr Cuccinelli told the jury that he “made clear at all times” that DHS couldn’t take measures like that, one person told the outlet.

‘Biggest Moron of them all’: Trump responds to review of Afghanistan withdrawal by namecalling Biden

22:15 , Oliver O'Connell

Former President Donald Trump has responded to reports that orders given by him in the waning days of his administration left President Joe Biden “severely constrained” in how he handled the US withdrawal from Afghanistan after two decades of war, according to an interagency review of the disastrous exit.

Mr Trump posted to Truth Social:

These Morons in the White House, who are systematically destroying our Country, headed up by the biggest Moron of them all, Hopeless Joe Biden, have a new disinformation game they are playing - Blame “TRUMP” for their grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan. I watched this disaster unfold just like everyone else. I saw them take out the Military FIRST, GIVE $85 Billion of military equipment, allow killing of our soldiers, and leave Americans behind. Biden is responsible, no one else!

Asked about her knowledge of Karen McDougal, the former Playboy star with whom Trump had an affair, Daniels reveals that she had no idea about the affair, but once he introduced the two of them at a Trump Vodka party.

When the story threatened to come out again inThe National Inquirer, out of fear that she might be under threat of being silenced because “as big as a doofus as he is, he's now the Republican Party's problem”, Daniels signed an NDA.

The letter which bears her signature denying the affair ever took place, is brought up and she explains that Michael Cohen wrote the letter and she signed it (incorrectly she says) out of fear of being sued for millions.

Moving on to the 2011 In Touch magazine interview, Daniels says she spoke to them because the story had been leaked and she wanted to make sure it was her story.

When Trump was approached for comment, a lawsuit was threatened and the story was never published.

In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Daniels said she rolled her eyes as he had said he never wanted to be president.

21:02 , Oliver O'Connell

Morgan asked: "You asked him on that first night about his wife, Melania. They'd only been married quite recently. She’d just given birth to their son. What did you feel about that? You’ve been criticised for that part of it. You already said that.”

Stormy replied: "Yeah. And he had shown me pictures of his wife and son. We were just talking about how cute he was. Not any different than if we showed pictures right now of each other's kids. Like, look at his little outfit, you know?"

Morgan added: “Someone Tweeted you last week and said why did you sleep with him even though you knew he had a wife? And you replied, why did he invite me to his room, take off his clothes, and corner me when I came out of the bathroom even though he knew he had a wife?”

She replied: “Exactly. I mean that sums it up. Why is anyone responsible for somebody else's behaviour in their marriage? I didn’t take a vow to anybody. It’s this whole thing where you blame the other woman but in the other scenario, you really blame the other guy, you know what I mean?"

After their sexual encounter, Daniels said she left within five minutes and felt bad about it, wondering if she had encouraged him.

They met on multiple other occasions at events but she never allowed herself to be alone with him again.

She has since been criticised online for going to a married man’s room, to which she responds: why did he invite me to his room and get on the bed in his underwear?

Morgan says she takes no prisoners on Twitter and is much like Trump.

“I can spell better than him – he still can't spell my name right.”

20:52 , Oliver O'Connell

Morgan asks Daniels to clarify her comments to Vogue about the gap in her memory of the night, clarifying that it was “not non-consensual”.

“I do take responsibility... he didn’t come at me.” Stormy Daniels says her alleged encounter with Donald Trump was consensual - and that she felt “mad at herself” afterward.
