Woman at the center of ‘catch and kill’ charges against Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels speaks out
In an upcoming interview with Fox Nation, adult film star Stormy Daniels, 44 — whose real name is Stephanie Gregory Clifford — sat down with Piers Morgan for 90 minutes as she told her side of the story that led to unprecedented criminal charges against Donald Trump, 76.
It comes after she claimed Trump paid her a $130,000 “hush money” payment to keep quiet about their sexual encounter leading up to the 2016 election.
Following New York prosecutors’ investigation into the payment, a grand jury indicted Trump in March 2023 on charges related to business and fraud.
The “Piers Morgan Uncensored” interview with Daniels airs today on Fox Nation.
Morgan took to Twitter to announce, “Just wrapped up an amazing 90 minute interview with Stormy Daniels,” Morgan wrote on Twitter.

It comes after Daniels alleged that Trump paid her a $130,000 payment in “hush money” to keep quiet about their sexual encounter leading up to the 2016 election.
“Everyone has had their opinion on her, now she’s telling HER story about the affair that could send President Trump to jail.”
He added in a separate Tweet, “It was one of the best interviews I’ve ever done… Stormy was spirited, fascinating, funny and incredibly candid.”
Trump has pleaded not guilty to falsifying company records in connection with hush money payments to Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign.
While vehemently denying having sex with Daniels, Trump admitted in 2018 that he authorized the payment to her. He said on Twitter that he paid his attorney Michael Cohen a “monthly retainer” to stop Daniels’ “false allegations” after years of denying any knowledge of any payment.
Of their sexual encounter, Daniels said in March 2023 that they had “textbook generic sex.”
Trump has labeled the allegations and charges as politically motivated and forged a “witch hunt” by his Democratic opponents.
Former US President Donald Trump will appear in court at New York’s Manhattan Criminal Court on April 4, 2023
Trump is now the first former president to face criminal charges.
The former president was arraigned in New York City on Tuesday after being charged with 34 counts of falsifying first-degree business documents.
“I never thought something like this could happen in America. I never thought it could happen,” Trump said Tuesday night.
“The only crime I have committed is fearlessly defending our nation against those who would destroy it.”
Daniels responded with a vulgar message rejoicing that he was not “under arrest.”
“You all keep saying ‘c** dumpster’ like it’s a bad thing,” Daniels tweeted. “It’s definitely more fun being under my sexy man than under arrest.”
It is still unclear to whom the tweet was directed.
Also on Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals awarded Trump nearly $122,000 in attorney fees from Daniels over a failed libel lawsuit she filed against him in 2018.
Following the indictment and subsequent social media exposure for the adult film actress, Daniels has seen a dramatic spike in searches for her raunchy Pornhub videos.
The adult video site told TMZ that the same day Trump appeared in Manhattan criminal court, searches for Daniels went through the roof, with more than 650,000 people searching for her racy clips all day long.
This figure corresponded to a striking increase of 32.4 percent over the first three months of the year.
On March 31, Daniels said Donald Trump is “no longer untouchable” after he was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury — joking that she’s not afraid of him because she’s “seen him naked.”
The porn star warned that “death and destruction” will follow the decision – potentially putting the former president behind bars.
Daniels told The Times: “A person in power is not exempt from the law.
“And whatever your job or bank account says, you’ll be held accountable for what you’ve said and done, and justice will be served.”
“It’s vindication. But it’s bittersweet. He’s done so much worse he should have been taken down [for] for.
“I am fully aware of the madness of being a porn star. But it’s also poetic; this p***y grabbed back.’
