She was afraid she'd be killed if she didn't.

From Stormy Daniels’s perspective, there was one obvious reason to accept the hush-money payment from Donald Trump: take it, or be killed.

The danger posed by Trump and his associates in the aftermath of their affair was clear for the adult film star, whose problems with Trump began in 2006 when he slept with her after dangling a potential spot on The Celebrity Apprentice. Soon after, Trump sent his former fixer, Michael Cohen, to pay her $130,000 to stay quiet about their entanglement ahead of his 2016 bid for the presidency.


In a new documentary that intimately follows Daniels’s side of their ensuing, yearslong legal battle, Daniels explains that she knew she had become a target after Trump’s political career began: The Republican Party, she says, likes “to make their problems go away.”


“I mean, people have been suspiciously killed for political reasons. It was really about two things: trying to keep the story from coming out so that it would not hurt my husband and my daughter, and I wouldn’t lose my life, and that there would be a paper trail and money trail linking me to Donald Trump so that he could not have me killed. All I had to do was sign this piece of paper and collect $130,000,” Daniels explains in Stormy.

3. My memory fails me sometimes

but I have hazy memories of her telling about an unknown man (not Cohen) making a very real threat to her before taking the money. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

4. Yes.

She has talked about that.

6. I hope it gets talked about in court

although the defense would try to dismiss it as uncorroborated evidence 🤨

10. It came up

Trump's lawyer suggested she was making that up

Maybe the prosecution should call NY court personnel to testify about the threats they have been receiving

11. She talked about it yesterday.

7. My wife and I saw this documentary and we felt real compassion for Daniels.

Donald Trump ruins everything he touches, and her life is no exception.

We cannot let Trump anywhere near the White House in November and we all have to vote straight blue to get rid of this cancer.
