Stormy Daniels, recognized for her accusations against ex-President Donald Trump, and her spouse Barrett Blade may consider leaving the United States. This decision hinges on the result of the ongoing trial concerning Trump, which pertains to a hush-money payment connected to Daniels’ allegations of an old sexual encounter with Trump.
In a conversation with CNN’s OutFront on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, Blade, who also has a background in the adult film industry like his wife, disclosed their possible plans. He shed light on the heavy scrutiny Daniels has been subjected to since her accusations were made public.
The ongoing trial is taking place in Manhattan, New York City. The case revolves around a $130,000 payment to Daniels, allegedly made to suppress her accusations prior to the presidential election in 2016. Trump is believed to have arranged this payment via his former attorney, Michael Cohen, and is accused of subsequently attempting to disguise the transaction as a lawful expense.
Blade’s remarks indicate a challenging future, irrespective of the trial’s verdict. He foresees continued hostility from Trump’s followers and expressed a desire for the couple to lead a tranquil life. However, he questioned the feasibility of achieving such a life given the current circumstances.
Daniels, legally known as Stephanie Clifford, provided detailed testimony during the trial. She recounted explicit details about her alleged encounter with Trump, including a particular incident where she claimed to have spanked Trump with a magazine featuring his photo. The judge advised caution due to the explicit nature of her testimony.
For safety measures, Daniels reportedly wore a bulletproof vest to the courtroom. Her lawyer, Clark Brewster, underscored the fear of potential threats from extremists, underlining the seriousness of the situation.
Trump, who is seen as the likely Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election, refutes the accusations. He and his legal team challenge the charges related to the hush-money payment.
Blade echoed their lawyer’s statements, attributing Daniels’ perseverance and commitment to transparency as her driving forces throughout the ordeal. Despite the ongoing hurdles and media attention, he portrayed her as resilient, facing the situation with courage.
