Former porn star Stormy Daniels said she thinks former President Trump should be arrested and required to do community service following his conviction in the New York City Silence criminal trial.
In his first interview since his conviction, Daniels spoke to the Sunday Mirror about Trump’s sentence and about the fear he felt testifying before the jury at trial.
“I think he should be sentenced to prison and some community service – working for the less fortunate or volunteering as a punching bag at a women’s shelter,” Daniels told the UK-based media outlet.
Daniels added that he wasn’t sure exactly what Trump’s sentence should be, but that it’s important that the punishment is meted out to Trump so he can effectively learn from it.
“I don’t know what the sentence might be or what Trump will understand,” she said. “It’s like when you have a child, and sometimes you take away their electronics, but if your child is very artistic, they don’t care. They will simply color their coloring books. And then you have another child who doesn’t want to leave the house – you have to ground them or take away their electronics or not let them eat dessert.
“You have to find the punishment that not only fits the crime, but that is fair and just, and that affects that particular person. Who knows what this is with Trump,” she added.
Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a scheme to buy Daniels’ silence about her alleged affair with the former president, which was seen as potentially damaging to Trump’s campaign in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election. .
Daniels testified before the jury and provided graphic details about the sexual encounter she says she had with the former president as part of her testimony. Trump denies the affair.
In the new interview, Daniels described feeling afraid when giving his testimony.
“Being in court was so intimidating, with the jurors looking at you, but I’m glad that the material that wanted to come out in court came out and proved, like I said, that I was telling the truth all along,” Daniels said. .
“It’s not over for me,” she continued. “This will never end for me. Trump may be guilty, but I still have to live with the legacy.”
