When Stormy Daniels watched former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on April 4, she said part of her felt satisfied watching him have to follow the rules and be told what to do.
“That’s his comeuppance because no one ever told him what to do, probably in his whole life,” Daniels told Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber.
The adult film actress and director is at the center of Trump’s 34-count criminal indictment for allegedly falsifying business records in connection with an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office presented his case to a grand jury, which had voted in March in favor of the historic indictment.
Daniels told Weber that another part of her felt ambivalent about the news — a reaction that felt unexpected, and even strange, to her.

“All this time I thought that it would feel a certain way, like a relief or a finale or a conclusion,” Daniels explained. “It was like having a marathon, you know, episode in the bedroom and not reach a climax. You know, you did all the things: You prepared, you put on the fancy lingerie and lit candles and you went there and there was no conclusion. It just felt like, anticlimactic.”
