Stormy Daniels at an adult entertainment fair in Berlin on October 18, 2018. Markus Schreiber/AP Donald Trump’s grand jury indictment likely relates to a silent payment made to Stormy Daniels. Daniels told The Times of London that she heard the news while riding her horse named Redemption. She said she used part of the $130,000 to buy a horse trailer.
Stormy Daniels has learned the news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment, which stemmed from an investigation into a $130,000 payment made to the adult film actress in 2016 when she rode a horse named Redemption.
“There is something really ironic and hilarious that I heard the news of the indictment while sitting on a horse called Redemption,” Daniels told The Times of London.
According to the publication, Daniels, who is also an equestrian, said she used part of the $130,000 payment to purchase a horse trailer.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has been investigating Trump’s business and personal finances for nearly five years after Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, admitted in August 2018 that he arranged silent payments for two women, including Daniels. When Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court, he alleged Trump directed the payment.
That investigation culminated Thursday after it was reported that a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Trump.
The exact criminal charges are not yet known, but sources told CNN Trump faces more than 30 charges, including low-level felony charges.
The news of Trump’s indictment came as “a shock” to Daniels, according to the Times. “There was no warning,” she said.
Recently, Daniels took to social media to applaud Trump supporters. When the indictment was reported, Daniels said he saw purchases of “Team Stormy” merchandise skyrocket.
She also began receiving violent threats on “all social media platforms, via email and over the phone”, hours after the indictment was released, according to the Times.
“The number and intensity are the same as the first time, but this time it’s downright violent,” she told The Times. “The first time was ‘gold digger’, ‘bitch’, ‘whore’, ‘liar’ whatever. And this time it’s ‘I’m going to kill you’. They’re way more violent and graphics.”
