Stormy Daniels on Trump, hush money trial | Highlights

>> STORMIE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT YOU AGREED TO DO IT. BUT I'VE BEEN REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO TALKING TO FOR A LONG TIME. I GUESS I'M MOSTLY JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN. THIS HAS BEEN A MANY YEAR SAGA FOR YOU, BUT THIS IS A QUALITATIVELY DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE THE CONNECTIONS BUT A FEW WEEKS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A LOT HAS BEEN INTENSE. AND I THINK THAT PART OF THAT COMES FROM MY MISTAKE OF IN MY MIND THINKING THAT THIS WILL BE AN ENDING THAT THEY WANT THIS TO BE THAT LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THIS WAS THE WHAT I WAS WORKING TOWARDS. IT WOULD BE LIKE A MOVIE WHEN THE JUDGE HAS THE GAVEL, THE CREDITS ROLL AND BE TIED UP IN A NICE LITTLE GIFT. BOEHNER BE DONE. BUT THE REAL-LIFE PARKS AND MY FRIENDS ARE, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATING AND SENDING ME MESSAGES AND TECH, NOT JUST FRIENDS LIKE EVERYBODY, PEOPLE WHO WERE HAPPY. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE VERDICT CAME DOWN AND IT WAS IT WAS OVER. BUT MEANWHILE, I KNEW THAT FOR ME IT WAS JUST GETTING STARTED FOR EVERY PERSON THAT WAS EXCITED AND THRILLED AND CONGRATULATING ME THERE WAS SOMEBODY ELSE WAS VERY UPSET. YEAH, AND IT JUST POURED GASOLINE ON SOME OF THAT STUFF THAT I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE TIME. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF COMING OUT NOW THAT I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE DOCS. AND AND THAT'S CALLIE WAS DOGS. THEY'RE TRYING TO DAX TOURISM JUDGES FOR DOCS. I WAS DOCKS AND I KNOW THAT IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS LITERALLY STILL ON THE STAND. WHAT'S THE CONSEQUENCE FOR YOU HAVING AN ADDRESS SOUTH CHURCH? MY MAILBOX IS DESTROYED. MY ANIMALS HAVE BEEN INJURED, SAYS MY DAUGHTER CAME OUTSIDE THIS PRESS AND LOOK, HE LOSE OUT THERE. LET'S SAY 2 GAS. I I'M AFRAID TO GO OUT ON THE LAWN. YOU KNOW, I CAN GO ANYWHERE. I'M AFRAID OF BEING FOLLOW IT. YEAH. THE DEATH THREATS FOR SO MUCH MORE GRAPHIC AND DETAILED AND BRAZEN LIKE PEOPLE DON'T CARE. AND IT'S IT'S SCARY. YOU KNOW, AND LEADING UP TO THE TRIAL WAS HARD ENOUGH LIKE FLYING UP HERE REPEATEDLY AND SITTING IN THE ROOMS AND GOING THROUGH THINGS AND RELIVING ALL THESE TERRIFYING MOMENTS. THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME GOING AND GOT US THINKING THAT THERE WAS AN END IN SIGHT STAFF AND THERE'S NOT. >> IS THERE ANY SENSE OF I MEAN, THAT VINDICATION? I MEAN, THIS OBVIOUSLY THE TRUMP BEING CONVICTED. THIS IS NOT A TRADE CASE THAT YOU BROUGHT TO THIS PROSECUTORS BROUGHT. YOU WERE BROUGHT HERE AS A WITNESS TO TESTIFY AT YOUR SUBPOENA TO TESTIFY TWICE ABOUT IT. AGAIN, NOT YOUR CASE. THAT SAID THE WAY THE CASE WAS PRESENTED TO THE JURY. I MEAN, THE PROSECUTOR DESCRIBED TO THE JURY IN HIS CLOSING ARGUMENT. STORMY DANIELS IS THE MOTIVE SAYING HOW CRUCIAL YOUR TESTIMONY WAS YOUR CHEST WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE RIVETING? IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INTEGRAL TO THE CASE IS DOES THE VERDICT SORT OF FEEL LIKE A VINDICATION TO AT LEAST IN THE SENSE THAT THE STORY IS STRAIGHT NOW THAT THE JURY HAS AGREED THAT HE WAS WRONG WHEN HE CALLED YOU A LIAR. YES, BUT NO. I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS LIFE IS. NOT FAIR. IT AND I AM GETTING CONSTANTLY ATTACKED. IT WAS CALLED STORMY DANIELS, HUSH MONEY TRIAL. AND THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS ABOUT TO PASS A CASE. A NUMBER OF BUSINESS RECORDS ARE. AND I WAS JUST ONE THING. BUT I WAS THE MOST EXCITING PART. YOU KNOW, THEY AND I WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK THE STAND. I WAS ON A THINGS. TESTIMONY MADE SUCH AN IMPACT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THEY KIND OF CALL THAT IN CALLED KAREN MCDOUGAL. >> SO IS IT INDICATED WHEN HE WAS FOUND GUILTY IN FOR THAT RELIEF MOMENTS? IT WAS WORSE. WE TESTIFYING BECAUSE I FIRST I WASN'T GOING TO INDICT THE SHUTDOWN MY LIFE. IT WAS BASICALLY MY CHOICE. SEQUESTERED. I DIDN'T WORK. I DIDN'T TWEET IF YOU KNOW ME. THAT'S A BIG DEAL THAT I DIDN'T WE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE MISCONSTRUED OR ENTERED INTO EVIDENCE AND CREATE MORE WORK FOR THE PROSECUTION. I GET THE CASE OR NOT OR JUST ALLOW ME FROM TESTIFYING. DID I WANT TO TESTIFY, KNOW JUST CARRY THEM MS, ESPECIALLY ONCE I GOT UP, I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE AND HOW NASTY SEASON THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE TO ME, I MIGHT NOT OF. BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT IF I DIDN'T TESTIFY, THAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO. AND THEN I WAS NOT TO BE TRUSTED, RIGHT, THAT I THAT THERE WAS A REASON THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TESTIFY. SO I KNEW THAT I HAD TO THAT WAS IMPORTANT AND SAYS HE WAS FOUND GUILTY THAT I AND I KNEW THAT I HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING IN ONE ASPECT. THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT IS LIKE YOU SAID, I DIDN'T BRING THESE CHARGES. I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT WAS SUBPOENAED. >> SO MUCH THE EMAIL TO GET US DROP THE CHARGES. SOME OF THE HAHA I DID IS SUING HIM AND GETTING NOTHING BECAUSE HE'S SO MUCH TO COME UP HERE AND TESTIFY. I WAS NOT PAID TO REGISTER REPUBLICANS. SORRY. IT'S GET OUT OF THEM. WHEN YOU SAY YOU PAID TO COME UP FOR YOU PAGE OR ON EXPENSIVE JUSTIFY OF COURSE MULTIPLE TIMES. I WASN'T LIKE THAT COMPENSATED OR WRITTEN THAT'S HAD KARYN'S LIKE THAT. I GOT NOTHING IN THOSE COSTS. ME SO MUCH MONEY. I WAS A PAID BY ANYBODY. MY TESTIMONY THAT I WAS SUBPOENAED THAT I AM A CONSIDERS NEEDS DONE THIS GREAT DUTY AND BE A HERO, WHICH I'M NOT. I JUST TOLD THE TRUTH IS JUST I WAS A HUMAN BEING, THEN DO ANYTHING HEROIC AND THEN GO INTO A BURNING BUILDING. I DIDN'T. SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST SAID THE TRUTH AND I'VE NEVER CHANGED MY STORE AD DESPITE WITH OTHER PEOPLE SAID, GO BACK, LOOK AT INTERVIEWS ONLINE FROM 2019, 2020. 21. MY STORY HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL. IT'S FEELING THAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT. >> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THAT MEANS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IT WAS VERY MUCH WHAT THE PROSECUTOR SAID, THE CLOSING ARGUMENT AND I JUST WANT I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE WAY THAT THE PROSECUTION, FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD. YOU SEE THE WAY THAT YOU FIT INTO THEIR CASE BECAUSE I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE WITH THAT. I WANT TO GET YOUR VOICE TO SAY ABOUT. HE SAID THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO GREAT LENGTHS TO DISCREDIT STORMY DANIELS IN HER ACCOUNT OF HER SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS WITH MISTER TRUMP. THEY SHAMED HER AND TRIED TO SUGGEST THAT HER STORY HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. IT HAS NOT AT LEAST NOT IN ANY WAY THAT SIGNIFICANT TO BE SURE THERE ARE PARTS OF HER TESTIMONY THAT WERE CRINGE WORTHY. BUT THAT WHOLE EPISODE IN THE SUITE AT HARRAH'S THAT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE. SOME OF THE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THE SWEET LOOKED LIKE, THE CONTENTS OF HIS TOILETRY BAG, THE TOPICS OF CONVERSATION. THOSE ARE THE KIND OF DETAILS I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT KIND OF RING TRUE, THAT THE KIND OF DETAILS YOU WOULD EXPECT SOMEONE TO REMEMBER IF SHE DIDN'T TESTIFY ABOUT THOSE DETAILS, IT WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY GIVE THE DEFENSE MORE AMMUNITION IN THEIR EFFORTS TO CALL HER A LIAR TO ARGUE THAT SHE WAS NEVER IN THAT HOTEL ROOM. NOW IN HIS OPENING IN HIS CLOSING TRUMP'S LAWYER, MISTER BLANCHARD TOLD YOU THAT MS DANIELS'S TESTIMONY DOESN'T MATTER. THAT'S A BRIDGE TOO FAR BECAUSE IT'S CERTAINLY TRUE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVE THAT SEX ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. AND THAT'S NOT AN ELEMENT OF THE CRIMES CHARGED. BUT THE DEFENDANT TRUMP KNEW WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT HOTEL ROOM. AND TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU CREDIT STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY THAT ONLY REINFORCES HIS INCENTIVE TO BUY HER SILENCE. THE DEFENSE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE IF HER TESTIMONY WERE SO RELEVANT, WHY DID THEY WORK SO HARD TO DISCREDIT HER? WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT HER STORY IS MESSY AND MAKE SOME PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE TO HEAR IT PROBABLY MADE SOME OF YOU MEANING THE JURY UNCOMFORTABLE HERE. BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT. THAT'S THE DISPLAY THE DEFENDANT DIDN'T WANT THE AMERICAN VOTER TO SEE IN THE SIMPLEST TERMS. STORMY DANIELS IS THE MOTIVE. AND THAT IS WHY YOUR TESTIMONY WAS NOT JUST AND AMAZING DISPLAY BUT ALSO AMERICAN HISTORY, THE WAY THAT FITS INTO THIS. DO YOU AGREE WITH THE WAY THEY CHARACTERIZE DO IN THIS CASE? THE PROSECUTION ISN'T THAT THE WAY THAT THIS? >> THE WAY THAT HE'S SAYING YOUR TESTIMONY FUNCTION OF WHAT WAS RELEVANT TO THIS CRIME? YES, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. WHAT I MAKE SOME OF THE STUFF UP AND THE YOU KNOW THE YEAH, YEAH, I AM COMES WITH IT. AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE LIKE, OH, THEY LET HER GET UP THERE AND SAY WHATEVER SHE WANTED IT AND I WAS KEEP IN MIND, I DID NOTHING BUT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. I DIDN'T GOT THERE AND PRESENT AND HAS TO TO AS A SPOKEN WORD THEATER. YOU KNOW, IT WAS I ANSWER QUESTIONS. AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE ANSWER, DON'T ASK ME THE QUESTIONS. AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE IS THAT IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO WITNESS OR TO HEAR. I LOVED IT. ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS HEAR MY VERY PETE, MY VERY PG RATED VERSION ON THE STAND. I HAD TO RELIVE IT AS A TO SAY AND COURT IN SOME OF THESE PEOPLE TO KNOWING THAT IT WOULD BE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MY DAUGHTER'S GOING TO BE THIS EVERY VERY THIS AND PREPARING FOR THE CASE. REMEMBER, I HAD TO GO BACK AND THINK ABOUT ALL THESE DETAILS. MAKE SURE THAT I HAD EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE. AND IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT PROVES THAT I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH IS AND I DON'T MAYBE THIS IS TOO FAR FOR OUR CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW. BUT FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DRAG ME ABOUT TALKING ABOUT WHAT HIS GENITALS LOOK LIKE, DON'T YOU THINK FOR A SECOND? I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE I COULD PROVE. I WISH YOU HAD A BIRTHMARK THAT LOOKS LIKE THE STATE OF TEXAS ON THE SHOULDER, YOU KNOW, OR OR FUNNY LOOKING MAL. THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT PROVES THAT I DID THAT HE DIDN'T TAKE HIS CLOTHES OFF IN FRONT OF ME. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO THAT IF HE HAD WAS NOT THAT I WAS LYING. YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES JOHN GOT A LONG TIME AGO AND AND PROVE THAT I WAS A LIAR AND IT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE ASKED AND HE KNOWS I'M TELLING THE TRUTH, WHICH IS WHY HE WANTED TO SHUT THE UP. >> ITS INITIAL RUN AND TESTIFY ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE HOTEL SUITE. TRUMP'S DEFENSE LAWYERS MOVED FOR A MISTRIAL AND THEY SAID WHAT YOU HAVE TESTIFIED AND THE DETAIL OF WHAT YOU TESTIFIED ABOUT IT. WHAT'S GOING TO BE PREJUDICIAL TO THE JURY WAS UNRELATED TO THE CRIMES THAT WERE CHARGED IN THE JURY HEARING THAT WAS GOING MAKE THEM HAVE SO MUCH IMPROPER PREJUDICE TOWARD TRUMP THAT THE WHOLE TRIAL HAD TO BE THROWN OUT. AND THE JUDGE SAID NO TO THE MESS TRIAL. AND THE JUDGE SAID, LISTEN, YOU SHOULDN'T SAID IT RIGHT AT THE OUTSET IN YOUR OPENING STATEMENT THAT THE SEXUAL ENCOUNTER NEVER HAPPENED, THAT SET THIS CASE UP SO THAT THE JURY HAS TO ASSESS THE CREDIBILITY OF STORMY VERSUS THAT. AND THEY PUT ME ON THE SPOT. AND SO THEY THEY DID THAT. BUT THE DETAIL OF THAT TESTIMONY WILL BE THE BASIS OF TRUMP'S APPEAL. HE WILL APPEAL THE DECISION TO HAVE NOT CALLED A MISTRIAL. THEN THAT'S GOING TO BE THE WAY THAT HE TRIES TO GET OUT OF THIS CONVICTION. CAN WE GO OVER THAT TEST? WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GO THROUGH THAT TESTIMONY WITH RIGHT NOW? THERE'S NO CAMERAS IN THE COURT. NOBODY'S SEEN IT IN. >> AS I PUT OUT THAT SECTION OF THE TRANSCRIPT, THIS IS WHERE YOU MIND DOING THIS. I GOT A LOT WHERE. >> WHEN YOU SAY YOU PAID TO COME UP FOR YOU PAGE OR ON EXPENSIVE JUSTIFY, OF COURSE MULTIPLE TIMES. I WASN'T LIKE THAT COMPENSATED OR WRITTEN THAT'S HAD KARYN'S LIKE THAT. I GOT NOTHING IN THOSE COSTS. ME SO MUCH US. >> MONEY. I WAS A PAID BY ANYBODY. >> WE'RE BACK TO MY INTERVIEW WITH STORMY DANIELS. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEM IS DANIELS WAS NOT PAID FOR THIS INTERVIEW. WE DO NOT DO THAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. WE ALSO CAME TO LEARN OVER THE COURSE OF PREPARING FOR THIS INTERVIEW IN REPORTING OUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO BE JUST DISCUSSING THESE MATTERS WITH HER. WE CAME TO LEARN THAT SHE IS IN FAIRLY DIRE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE OF HER CONFRONTATION WITH TRUMP AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT EVIDENCE BY THE FACT THAT SHE RECENTLY ASKED A FRIEND TO MANY AND WAYNE CRAWFORD TO OPEN AN EMERGENCY GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO PAY THE ATTORNEYS FEES THAT SHE HAS INCURRED. AND AS SHE TRIES TO HOLD ON TO HER HOUSE FOR THAT PART OF IT, I'M GOING TO MISS DANIELS HERE EXPLAINS. >> SO THE CASE. >> THAT IT WHICH ARE JUST TESTIFIED WAS A CRIMINAL CASE BROUGHT BY PROSECUTORS. YOU ARE SUBPOENAED TO BE THERE JUST AS A WITNESS THAT THE REASON THAT YOU TRUMP MONEY IS A SEPARATE MATTER. IT'S JUST YOUR FORMER LAWYER, MICHAEL AVENATTI, WHO IS NOW IN PRISON FOR DEFRAUDING YOU AND OTHER CLIENTS BROUGHT A DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST TRUMP BY YOU. THAT CASE WAS THROWN OUT AND TRUMP WAS AWARDED ATTORNEYS FEES AND THAT TOTALS ISLAMIC TO MAKE A LONG STORY. SHORT OF TOTAL SAID ABOUT $600,000 THAT YOU NEED TO PAY TRUMP CRACKED AND I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO GIVE TESTIMONY. THEY NEVER SAW MY EVIDENCE. IT WAS NEVER RULED WHETHER I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH OR NOT. SO FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE SAYING YOU LOST A DEFAMATION CASE BECAUSE THEY FOUND IS THAT YOU TO BE A LIAR OR UNTRUTHFUL? HE'S NOT SURE THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE CASE. OTHER SIDE OF THAT IS MISSED. SCARILY JEAN CARROLL WAS CALLED THE EXACT SAME THINGS BY DONALD TRUMP AND NOT ONLY DID THEY ACCEPT HER CASE AND LET HER TAKE THE STAND AND LET HER HAVE HER DAY IN COURT. THEY'VE GIVEN HER MILLIONS RIGHT. MEANWHILE, MY ATTORNEYS FEES HAVE RACKED UP TO OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. DO YOU HAVE ANY MEANS PAYING UP NOW AND NOR DO I THINK THEY SHOULD. IT'S NOT FAIR IN TERMS OF WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. JUDGE FOR SEAN JUST LIFTED THE GAG ORDER. SO HE STILL PROHIBITED FROM ATTACKING COURT STAFF AND PROSECUTORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. BUT HE IS NOW FREE, TOO ATTACKED JURORS AND WITNESSES, WHICH MEANS YOU MIGHT WHEN THE GAG ORDER WAS IN PLACE THAT YOU BENEFIT FROM THAT ALREADY WORRIED ABOUT IT BEING LIFTED. >> NO, I MEAN, HE'S GOING TO SAY WHAT IS GOING TO SAY ANYWAY? YEAH, THE I'M NOT AFRAID OF WHAT HE COULD SAY ABOUT ME OR WHAT HE COULD CALL ME. I'M TELLING THE TRUTH IS I'M A LITTLE BIT HAS CONTINUED TO TELL. THE TRUTH IS I CAN PROVE EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER SAT. SO I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE THINGS HE MIGHT SAY. YEAH, I'M CONCERNED OF HIM SAYING SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE HIS FOLLOWERS COME AFTER ME MORE. >> HAS THAT CHANGED OVER TIME? THE CHARACTER OF THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE THE KIND OF LANGUAGE. HOW HAS THAT CHANGED OVER TIME? >> THE BIGGEST THING IS THAT THEY'RE NOT HIDING. THEY STALLED THE BOTS. YOU KNOW, NOW THEY'RE USING THEIR REAL STOPS. THERE'S, YOU KNOW, FACEBOOK THREADS, SOME PEOPLE IN MY OWN COMMUNITY PLANNING TO DO THINGS TO MY HOUSE AND MY FAMILY HIM. THE I SAID SOME MESSAGES OR HER WHEN MY WHEN BARRETT WAS ON ANOTHER SHOW AND THEY COULDN'T AIR EVERYTHING. THEY SAID THE GRAPHIC DETAILS ABOUT HOW THEY WERE GOING TO RAPE. EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY, INCLUDING MY OWN DOG GOING FOR THE KILL THEM AS A GRAPHIC THINGS TALKING ABOUT A CHILD'S AND THE MOST IMPORTANTLY LIKE TRUMP IS TRYING TO MAKE, I BELIEVE, TRYING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF ME OF ANYBODY WHO DARE STAND UP TO HIM AND HE WILL. THAT WAS SERVED AGAIN YESTERDAY. SO I DID BEFORE YESTERDAY AND THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE MY PARTNER'S HOUSE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I'M NOT THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT HOUSE TIGHTLY. IT'S GOT MORE GUTS. MEGAN'S IT. I DON'T ON THAT HOUSE. I PAY HIM RENT EVERY MONTH BECAUSE ICE POTTSVILLE'S OF TIME. BUT I DON'T HAVE MY NAME IS ON THE TITLE. ISN'T FUNNY. MONEY OUT ON ON THIS HOUSE. SO TRYING TO TAKE HIS HOUSE. THEY'RE DEMANDING PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY 13 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER. I REFUSE TO FILL OUT THAT FORM. I'M THEIR IDENTIFYING INFORMATION ABOUT HER. YES, WHERE SHE LIVES. HER LEGAL NAME HEARD A DIVERSE LIKE MINING ME THAT ABOUT A CHILD. SO I DID AND STILL OUT THAT PART OF THE FORM, I LEFT IT BLANK AND THEY REJECTED IT AND SENT IT BACK AND ARE DEMANDING THAT I BE HELD IN CONTEMPT WITH SOME WITH SANCTIONS AND THAT HAS TO PAY THIS MONEY. I HAVE TO PAY $600,000 PLUS SANCTIONS AND BE IN CONTEMPT OF COURT WHICH COMES WITH A WARRANT POSSIBLY BECAUSE REST FOR UNREST. WHY? BECAUSE I THE THINGS I SAID WHICH THEY FOUND HIM GUILTY OF. I ALSO HAVE TO PAY AND PROTECTING MY CHILD AND YOU COULD BE THE BIGGEST TRUMP SUPPORTER, A WOMAN VOTING FOR TRUMP. LET HIM ASK THAT WOMAN EVER TO BE AT THE LEFT TO YOU. HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM HAVING YOUR YOUR YOUNG DAUGHTERS, LEGAL NAME ADDRESS AND IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AND NO WOMAN OUT THERE. I CAN IMAGINE WOULD GIVE THAT INFORMATION OUT. THEY GOT MY I JUST LOOK HOW QUICKLY THAT HAPPENS. I THINK I'M GONNA GIVE UP THE OTHER, JESSICA, SOMETIMES WITH ME ON THIS IS SHE'S WITH HER FATHER. WHY WOULD I DO THAT? BUT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY IT'S A THERE'S BASICALLY 2 IMPASSE IS NOW IN TERMS OF THAT. >> THAT MONEY AND THAT DEFINITE THE. >> THE RESOLUTION OF THAT DEFAMATION CASE AND YOU'RE PAYING THE LEGAL FEES, ONE IS YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY TO PAY. BUT TO IS THEY WANT THE U.S. PART OF THAT TO GIVE OVER THAT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR REFUND, EVEN IF I HAD THE MONEY EVEN HAVE BILLIONS. >> IT'S NOT FAIR. WHAT DO I HAVE TO PAY IT? AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, JEN KAO BUT LIKE LITERALLY THE SAME 3 SECONDS, LIFE. >> LIAR. WHACK JOB LIKE CON JOB OR WHATEVER SHE GETS OVER 80 MILLION AND IT COST ME OVER 600,000. SO BECAUSE MY PARTNER, HIS HOUSE IS GOING TO CAUSE MY DAUGHTER HER PRIVACY FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. IT'S NOT FAIR. I FEEL LIKE STORMY THAT TRUMP MOVEMENT HAS >> DESTROYED OR TRIED TO DESTROY A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR POSING A THREAT TO DONALD TRUMP. PART CHALLENGE TO HIM AND THERE ARE SHE'S BEEN DESCRIBING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, IF NOT TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE A ROOTING INTEREST IN ALL OF THESE VARIOUS EFFORTS TO CONTEND FRONT, AN EXPOSE HIS BEHAVIOR AND HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR CRIMES OF TREACHERY OR WHATEVER. BUT THE ROOTING INTEREST DOESN'T HELP. YOU MIGHT KNOW MORE THAN HALF THE COUNTRY IS ROOTING FOR HIM BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE CONFRONTATIONS ARE BEING TERRORIZED AND MENACED. THEM RUINED OVERALL. THIS SYSTEM. I JUST I'M SORT OF SUMS PUT THE STEEL HAS THAT I FEEL LIKE THE SYSTEM IS UNSUSTAINABLE UNLESS THE REAL LIVE HUMAN PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AND SPEAK THE TRUTH AGAINST HIM ARE THEMSELVES PROTECTED. >> AND YOU COULD BE ME. YES, WE CAN ALL BE ME LIKE ANYBODY OUT THERE. THEY'RE TRYING TO SEIZE PROPERTY. PEOPLE KNOW THAT I CARE ABOUT THE SUN, EVEN MINE TO SCARE ME. THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE BEFORE. SHE EVEN HAS A CHANCE TO LIVE IT AND THEY'RE TRYING TO FINANCIALLY REMIAN TAKE MONEY. I'M NOT BECAUSE I TOLD THAT TO US AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. AND I'VE NEVER ASKED FOR HELP BEFORE. I'VE BEEN CITING THIS BY MYSELF. IT'S, YOU KNOW, EVEN THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO ME, MY, YOU KNOW, MY BEST FRIENDS, MY, YOU KNOW, PARTNERS, EVERYONE ELSE CAN TAKE A BREAK. YOU KNOW, MY BEST FRIEND WAYNE IS WHERE MY TOUR MANAGER, MY ASSISTANCE. SHE'S LIVED AT THE MOST WITH ME. BUT EVEN EVEN HE HAS TO TAKE BREAKS TO GET TO GET ON A PLANE AND GO HOME AND TAKE HIS KIDS AND HIS FAMILY TO DISNEYLAND AND NOT THINK ABOUT IT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS THIS HAS BLED INTO MY LIFE. SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS. SOME DAYS. I'M PICKING COLORS OUT OF MY HORSES, BODY AND GETTING SERVED PAPERS, INCREASE, SOBBING BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, THAT I MISSED BECAUSE I MISS MY DAUGHTER IS EDGES ARE NOT SAFER. SHE'S WITH ME SOMETIMES AND SOME DAYS. IT'S JUST THINGS I MEAN ON THE INTERNET. BUT EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVEN THE I MEAN, YOU LIVE THIS, YOU TELL THE STORY, EVEN YOUR RACHEL HAS A MOMENT WHERE YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK OUT AT LEAST FOR A MINUTE. YEAH, I'VE NEVER HAD A DAY LIKE THAT. AND OVER 6 YEARS. >> YOUR WORK. LIFE HAS BEEN SEVERELY CURTAILED BY THIS. CHANGED YOURSELF USE. YOU STILL GOT SOME STUFF GOING. YOU'VE BEEN DOING COMEDY EVENTS. I JUST CAME BACK TO THAT LAST WEEK. THE SAME THING, THE OWNER OF THE CLUB GOT DEATH THREATS. I MEAN, I'M FROM NEW ORLEANS IS NOW AS SHE DIDN'T CARE. BUT LIKE HOW MANY PLACES ARE OUT THERE THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEIR FATES AND TO BOOK ME. >> GARY, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY LEFT. I'M NOT I'M NOT LIKE IT'S LITERALLY LIKE BETWEEN LEGAL FEE IS AND NOT BE ABLE TO ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I WASN'T WORKING DURING MEMBER THE CHILD THAT PUSHED. YEAH. SO I TAKE IT OFF A BUNCH OF TIME BEFORE AND THEN IT GOT ITS AND ITS THERE'S SEVERAL MONTHS, RIGHT. ENJOY THIS UP DURING MY PODCAST BECAUSE THEY WERE FREAKING OUT ABOUT EVERYTHING. I SAID I DIDN'T GET TO TELL THE PODCAST COMPANY WHY I STOPPED TALKING AT THEM BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING IS TO BE AND JUST CREATE MORE WORK FOR THE PROSECUTION BASICALLY OR I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT OFF THE WITNESS LIST FOR ALL THE REASONS I TOLD YOU EARLIER, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY THINGS PEOPLE BEING JUST AFRAID TO HIRE ME LIKE THEY DO HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, I I HOSTED THE TV SHOW NOW TV AND I'M STARTING TO GO BACK IN AND DO SOME STAND-UP COMEDY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I LOST A LOT MORE THAN I'VE MADE MOSTLY MY PEAS, MOST OF MY DAUGHTER'S PRIVACY AND TIME TIME I'LL EVER GET BACK WITH HER. AND GIVEN THAT, ARE YOU. I'M WORRIED ABOUT TRUMP POTENTIALLY BEING ELECTED TO A SECOND TERM. CERTAINLY ALL BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT. WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT, PARTICULARLY FOR YOU. YES, WHY? BECAUSE I THINK THE U.S. HE WILL MAKE TRY TO MAKE EVEN MORE EXAMPLE OUT OF ME TELL, YOU KNOW, AND ALSO BECAUSE PEOPLE HIS FOLLOWERS WILL TIE THE MORE EVEN MORE BOLD THING. IF THEY DO SOMETHING, HELP HARDEN THEM IN TERMS OF HIS OWN CRIMINAL LIABILITY, HE IS DUE TO BE SENTENCED. VERY SEND. YOU SAID SHORTLY AFTER THE VERDICT THAT YOU THOUGHT HE SHOULD BE SENTENCED TO JAIL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKING FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE OR QUOTE, BEING THE VOLUNTEER PUNCHING BAG AT A WOMEN'S SHELTER SAYS I'M STILL FEEL THAT WAY. SOMETHING I MEAN, MONEY IS NO OBJECT TO HIM FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW, TAKE TO FIND THEM ABOUT MONEY. COULD DEFINITELY TEACH THEM A LESSON. IN THIS CASE. HIS SUPPORTERS GO THROUGH THAT, THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MAN WHO GOT CONVICTED OF 34. SO, YOU KNOW, AND AND THEN ONE NIGHT AND HOW MUCH WAS A 100 MILLION DOLLARS OR SOMETHING WAS GIVEN TO HIM WHEN HE WAS FOUND GUILTY? SCIENTISTS FOUND GUILTY. YOU KNOW, IT'S EXCITING. HYMNS. I DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD. YEAH. I THINK, YOU KNOW, IS TAKING AWAY HIS CONTROL, SLASH IT, WHICH IS FREEDOM. BUT AS A GENTLE SENTENCE, IF THAT'S WHAT SETS IT WOULD SEEM TO MUSTER THE STOWE USED TO BEING IN CONTROL. YEAH, IT'S NOT ABOUT LAW CAME OUT TO US IS NOT A U.S. CONTROL. IT WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL IN THIS CASE, I THINK AND MAKING HIM DO SOME COMMUNITY SERVICE, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE PEOPLE THAT HE LOOKS OUT ON SO MUCH. >> IN THIS PART OF MY INTERVIEW WITH STORMY DANIELS, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE OF HER TESTIMONY FROM THE TRIAL, BUT ALSO HER A LAB OR ASIAN ON THAT TESTIMONY EXPLAINING WHAT SHE MET. THE CRIMINAL CHARGES THAT WERE BROUGHT IN THIS CASE WERE BROUGHT BECAUSE OF THE MEANS BY WHICH TRUMP THE CANDIDATE TRIED TO COVER UP AND KEEP SECRET AND DISGUISE THE FACT THAT HE HAD PAID THIS WOMAN TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT THIS STORY. HER ELABORATION HERE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THIS STORY THAT WAS SO WORTH PAYING TO KEEP QUIET THAT WAS WORTH THE GYMNASTIC EVEN BROKE EFFORT. HE WENT THROUGH TO TRY TO COVER UP THAT THE PAYMENT WAS MADE. STORMY DANIELS. DID YOU NOTICE AFTERWARDS A DVD ON THE SIDE TABLE? >> YES, IT WAS. THE MEDIA GIVING THEM EARLIER AND THE GIFT BAG FROM THE SHOW WAS ON THE NIGHTSTAND THAT EYESIGHT. >> CAN I JUST THROUGH THEIR FIRST SECOND? THIS IS A REALLY STUPID QUESTION. I'M SORRY. WHY DOES AN ADULT FILM COMPANY SPONSOR A WHOLE AT A GOLF TOURNAMENT? THIS IS BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE WORD WHOLE. >> WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF MY SENATE CHECKS RACIAL. HERE'S ME. TOTAL PROVED UNABLE TO TALK ABOUT THIS THAT ARE SITTING THIS FALSE OR THE HOLE AND HAD TO KEEP SAYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT ALMOST KILLED ME. YEAH. THAT'S WHY IT'S FUNNY. I THINK IT IS. >> NOW THE RUINS MY COMEDY ABBOTT. I SAY IT'S BASICALLY LIKE SO THEY BOUGHT MYSELF AND SOME OF THE OTHER STARS. THEY BROUGHT THEIR OWN HOLSTON ALSO BRINGS AND THE BEACH. THANK YOU. WELL DONE. THANK YOU HERE. ALL WEEK, TRY THE VEAL. SO YOU HAD GIVEN HIM A DVD BECAUSE WICKED HAD BROUGHT YOU AND OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE COMPANY. >> TO THIS GOLF TOURNAMENT WHERE THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER ADULT FILM COMPANIES. AND WE REALLY AND ALSO COMPANY. BUT IT'S IT WAS IT. WE'RE IN THE GUEST ROOM AND EVERYBODY GOT TO SPONSOR HOLD. YES, IT CAN SAY WITH A LAUGH AND CAUSING SOME HAIR OF THE FUNNY. IT IS VERY GOOD THIS AND THIS THE DVD WAS I WAS IN THE GIFT BAGS AND THEY BROUGHT LOOKED DIFFERENT. AND UNITY IS, YOU KNOW OF THAT SAYS THAT ONE PARTICULAR WAS A MOVIE CALLED THROUGH, WHICH ISN'T THAT THE I WROTE DIRECTED AND STARRED IN AND HE SPECIFICALLY WANTS SOMETHING THAT I HAD DIRECT, WHICH IS WHY AM I STUPID? HE HAS TAUGHT ME HE REALLY IS SERIOUS ABOUT HAVING ME ON. SO, YOU KNOW, THE PRINCESS. >> BECAUSE WHEN YOU MET HIM AT THE WHOLE ON THE GOLF COURSE, YOU WHAT SORT OF IMMEDIATELY STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T JUST STAR IN FILMS. YOU'VE ALSO DIRECTED. >> WRITES, THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY WAS INTRODUCING EVERYBODY. THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE. YEAH, THIS IS MY CONTACTS AND GIRLS AGES, AS MY CONTACT GIRL SAYS THAT THE ARE PUBLISHED AS WHATEVER THIS IS MY CONTRACT STAR AND DIRECTOR STORMY DANIELS. AND HE'S LIKE, OH, SO, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AND YOU ALSO ADDRESSED. AND THAT'S THE BASIS ON WHICH YOU HAD CONTINUING CONVERSATION WITH THE DIRECTOR ABOUT YOUR ROLE. YES, YES, YES. >> AND AND DO YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT THAT? WHEN YOU SAY, OH, STUPID ME, I THOUGHT THAT MEANT IF BY THAT. DO YOU MEAN HIS EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IN YOU AS A DIRECTOR AND HE'S ASKING YOU BUSINESS RELATED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INDUSTRY MEANT THAT YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE HAVING. IT WAS JUST DISCUSSION. THAT WAS THE JETS. WHY WASN'T A RED FLAG TO HAVE A MEETING? >> THERE IS NO. YOU WANT TO MARY GUYS HOTEL ROOM WHERE EXPECTING? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S 2 PARTS TO THAT ONE. HE WAS NOBODY KNEW WHO MELANIA WAS BACK. THEN I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS MARY'S AND HE IT SEEMS THEY'VE BEEN DIVORCED FROM HIS WIFE FOR THAT. I SAW THAT SCANDAL TO ANYBODY IN 2006 KNOW THE WORD MELANIA TRUMP. THEY HAD BEEN MARRIED JUST THE PREVIOUS YEAR, BUT NOBODY KNOW LIKES. IT WASN'T A THING. I KNOW THEY MUST THING. I DID KNOW HE WAS MADE UNTIL HE TOLD ME. SO THERE'S THAT SAYING THAT IT WASN'T OUT HOW OR WHEN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT HOW THEY THINK OF THE HOTEL ROOMS AND 99% OF PEOPLE, I'VE ALWAYS A FUN AND WHICH IS WHERE YOU WALK IN AND THERE'S A BED AND A DRESSER AND IT'S A HOTEL ROOM. THIS WAS A ROOM THAT WAS BIGGER THAN MY APARTMENT AND HAD A DINING ROOM, LIVING ROOM, 2 BEDROOMS. IF YOU HAD TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A HOTEL ROOM AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS NOW I WOULDN'T SAY IT WAS A LOOK AT APARTMENT. THOSE OF US WHO CONDUCT BUSINESS AT CONVENTIONS OR THINGS LIKE THAT. STILL THINK TWICE ABOUT GOING TO SOMEONE'S TWEET THAT HAS A CONFERENCE TABLE AND AT THE TABLE. SO PEOPLE LIKE ME ALL YOU KNEW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING TO KNOW. I'VE ALSO GONE TO 100 OTHER MEETINGS IN ROOMS EXACTLY LIKE THAT. THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. SOME. >> PROSECUTOR SAYS THE SUMMIT'S THEM WHEN YOU'RE LEAVING AND YOU WENT TO LEAVE. WHAT IF ANYTHING, DID YOU DO OR SAY HE SAID WE HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AGAIN SOON. HE WOULD JUST MAKE IT BY HAD I JUST WANT TO STRESS THAT I COULD. YOU KNOW, THAT WAS AT THE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU ABOUT TALKING AGAIN? YES, HE SAID WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER AGAIN. WE'RE FANTASTIC TOGETHER. I WANT TO GET YOU ON THE SHOW AND THAT WAS IT. HE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING HE DIDN'T OFFER TO PAY ME ARE RAISING OUR CELL PHONE NUMBER. NOTHING LIKE THAT. DID HE ASK YOU TO KEEP YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH HIM CONFIDENTIAL? KNOW THE THE EXPRESS. ANY CONCERN AT THAT POINT ABOUT HIS WIFE FINDING OUT NOW, DID YOU END UP HAVING DINNER IN HIS ROOM THAT NIGHT? NOW YOU SAID IT WAS DARK WHEN YOU LEFT. YES. AND DO YOU RECALL HOW YOU GOT BACK TO YOUR HOTEL? IT WAS A CAB AFTER THAT NIGHT. DID YOU TELL ANYBODY ELSE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? YES, JUST GIVE US A SENSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU TOLD AND WHAT YOU TOLD THEM. I TOLD A FEW PEOPLE THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD SEX BECAUSE I FELT THE SAME. SO IT DIDN'T STOP. IT DOESN'T SAY NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD JUST ASSUME THEY WOULD MAKE JOKES OUT OF THAT. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FUNNY AND DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ARE SAYING I WAS UP A PROSTITUTE, WHICH I WASN'T. SO IT'S ALL VERY FEW PEOPLE. I ALSO DIDN'T WANT TO GET BACK TO ANYBODY THAT I WAS DATING. >> SO THE OVERALL PICTURE IN TERMS OF YOUR REAL LIFE, NOT JUST IN TERMS OF THIS CASE, IS THAT THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A LEGIT BUSINESS REASON TO TALK TO. THIS MAN HAS MORE THAN TWICE HER AGE. SHE HAD NO INTENTION OF SLEEPING WITH. SHE TURNED IT INTO A SEXUAL ENCOUNTER. YOU DID NOT WANT IT AND YOU DID NOT FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. AND YOU WERE EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT WHEN IT WAS OVER US HAVING TO RECOUNT THIS IN DETAIL IN ORDER TO HIT TO REBUT HIS CHARACTERIZATION OF U.S. ALLY OR EVEN THOUGH YOU TOLD THIS STORY AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT VENUES AND YOU'VE TOLD US AND AROUND US, THIS IS THE TESTIMONY FROM THE TRIAL. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT STILL NOT AN EASY THING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. >> THAT IS NOT OVER AND OVER. NO, NO, NO. YEAH. AND I'M NOT A YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT HOW HARD THIS MUST BE FOR US. I RATE TAX LIKE A REAL PERSON WHO WAS LIKE A STUFFED PHYSICALLY LIKE A SALT LAKE. AT LEAST THEY GET TO JUST SAY, I DON'T WANT TO HOPEFULLY IN COURT AND TO PASS HERE AND THEY DON'T GET TO READ ABOUT IT EVERY DAY. YEAH, I JUST FEEL SO TERRIBLE. SO THOSE PEOPLE NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE NEVER COME FORWARD
