Stormy Daniels has insisted she is the only woman who could have secured Donald Trump’s conviction in his landmark hush money trial.
The 45-year-old porn star told the Mail’s Everything I Know About Me podcast that if Trump hadn’t cheated on Melania with her in 2006, she probably would have slept with someone else.
But Daniels says only their alleged encounter would have resulted in a guilty verdict.
She explained: ‘Do I regret coming forward and speaking out?
—Absolutely not. Do I regret going to that hotel room? Yes. But you know what? Even that could have been because of… if it hadn’t been for me, it could have been because of someone else that night who maybe… That would have had a very different ending than it has now.
‘Someone was going to, I think he was going to get someone to come to that hotel room that night.

“And if I had, do you think that would have resulted in a guilty verdict if it had been anyone else, anyone but me? It sounds a bit conceited, but I don’t think there’s another person in the entire world who would have gone into that hotel room that night and had the experience that I had.
‘That would have been sitting here right now talking about a guilty verdict…
“And I don’t think anyone else would have had the, uh, madness perhaps to carry this out.
“I don’t think anyone else would have reached a guilty verdict. They would have broken down long before they had a chance to do so on the stand.”
Trump denies having a one-night stand with Daniels after meeting her at a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe while his third wife, Melania, was pregnant with their son Barron, now 18.
In May, he was found guilty of 34 felony counts for paying Daniels $130,000 in hush money from campaign funds in an attempt to buy her silence.
Trump will be sentenced on September 18.
