Stormy Daniels, the focus of the hush money case against former President Donald Trump, said the convicted felon should receive jail time.
Daniels, a former porn actress, broke her silence and spoke with The Mirror about Trump’s conviction Thursday.
“I think he should be sentenced to jail and some community service working for the less fortunate, or being the volunteer punching bag at a women’s shelter,” she said.
Daniels said that now Trump has been convicted, she feels vindicated. She added people need to be wary of Trump and his run for the White House because “He is completely and utterly out of touch with reality.”
Daniels has remained in hiding and has not spoken with the media since she testified during the criminal trial.
Although a Trump conviction could be considered a victory for her, the 45-year-old acknowledged she will never be rid of the death threats against her from Trump’s supporters.
“You always feel like you’re the bad guy, even when you’re not just being up on that standard. Being in court was so intimidating with the jurors looking at you, but I’m glad that the stuff came out in court that wanted to come out and prove, like I said, I’ve been telling the truth the entire time,” she said. “It’s it’s not over for me. It’s never going to be over for me. Trump may be guilty, but I still have to live with the legacy.”
Daniels said she was “shocked” the jury reached the verdict as fast as they did.
While she’d like Trump to sentenced to time in jail, she is unsure what sentence he will ultimately receive.
“I don’t know what the sentencing could be or what Trump will even understand. It’s like when you have a child, and sometimes you take the electronics away from them, but if your child is very artistic, they don’t. They don’t care. They’ll just go colour their colouring books, and then you have another child that, you know, they don’t want to go outside. You gotta ground them or like take away electronics or don’t let them have dessert,” she said.”You have to find the punishment that not just matches the crime, but is fair and just, and that impacts that particular person. Who knows what that is with Trump.”
