“A person in power is not exempt from the law. And whatever your job, or what your bank account says, you will be held accountable for the things you have said and done, and justice will be served,” she told. The times.
Despite the historical indictment making Trump, 76, the first former president to face criminal charges, Daniels said the news is “bittersweet”.
“I’m fully aware of the madness of being a porn star. But it’s also poetic,” she said.

“The first time it was ‘gold digger’, ‘s**t’, ‘w***e’, ‘liar’, whatever,” she said.
“And this time it’s ‘I’m going to kill you’. They’re much more violent and explicit.”
She said for the first time that she is “afraid” of what’s to come, but that it won’t stop her from meeting him in court.
