Stormy Daniels wore a bulletproof vest on her way to and from a New York courthouse last week when she appeared as a witness in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Daniels returns to her New York residence after her appearance at Donald Trump’s hush money trial last week.
“He wore a bulletproof vest every day until he got to court,” he explained.
—I can tell you that before coming on Sunday she cried until she fell asleep. She was paralyzed with fear, not of taking the stand or telling her story, but of what some madman might do to her. And that also genuinely worries me.”
The jury heard for seven and a half hours as Daniels testified in vivid detail about a sexual encounter she says she had in 2006 with Trump, which he has denied.
Daniels made it clear during questioning that she was not physically or verbally threatened into having sex and that she was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time.
It was noted that one piece of evidence seen by the jury even has Stormy Daniels’ current address printed on it.
Brewster said Daniels fears there could be some type of retaliation in the future.
‘She is very worried about it. And because you live in an area that may not have a level of security that you feel comfortable with.’
Brewster explained how Daniels also wore a necklace her daughter had made for her as a good luck charm while in the courtroom.
Daniel’s alleged encounter with Trump was graphically conveyed in court last week when the porn actor shared his account before a rapt jury.
Donald Trump leaves court after his hush money trial on Monday
Stormy Daniels’ attorney, Clark Brewster, said his client was particularly worried about being attacked when he came to detail the alleged sexual encounter at the center of the trial.
Daniels’ testimony about her time with Trump was by far the most anticipated moment of the trial, which on Monday entered its fourth week of witnesses as prosecutors move closer to wrapping up their landmark case.
Given the salacious nature of Daniels’ testimony, it was not surprising that he faced combative questioning in what was easily the most heated exchange of the trial so far.
Trump’s team described Daniels as an unreliable witness when analyzing her personal life and profession.
There were questions about his past claims that he lived in a haunted house and about his participation in a strip club tour in 2018 called ‘Making America Horny Again.’
There were also suggestions that she could benefit handsomely by continuing to share her account even as the defense called it pure fiction.
“I think Stormy did a great job,” Brewster said of Daniels’ testimony.
“You know, she hadn’t met Trump face to face since 2007. I think, until they were together in that courtroom, there were times when Trump, as we found out later, was actually being reprimanded by the judge. “He was audibly cursing,” Brewster explained.
When asked how he felt after testifying at trial, Brewster said Daniels didn’t flinch.
“I was worried about security coming to New York,” Clark Brewster said.
The jury heard for seven and a half hours as Daniels testified in vivid detail about a sexual encounter she says she had in 2006 with Trump, which he has denied.
‘You know, she was quite taken aback by him. She didn’t really pay much attention to him. She heard him cursing in the courtroom, bBut I don’t think that impacted her at all. They were actually trying to make her feel ashamed in some way for her profession.
‘She’s genuine. “She’s very bright, she has great wit and I think she came across as genuine and open and exposed as she intended,” Brewster said.
‘I knew her time to shine would be in the interrogation because she is a very quick thinker.
Brewster was asked if it mattered that Trump was found guilty.
“You know, she’s private with me, she feels bad for the guy because she’s just empathetic,” Brewster said. But publicly, I mean, she has been so harmed by him in his statements about her that anyone would feel some degree of motive for revenge.
‘I think she would be more inclined to hope that the jury does the right thing and finds a conviction.
