Stormy Daniels, an adult film star and director, got emotional during an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, where she detailed the explicit questions prosecutors asked her during the hush money-election interference trial involving former President Donald Trump.
This special two-hour edition of The Rachel Maddow Show focused extensively on Daniels’ bombshell testimony. Although her infamous description of Trump’s genitalia was excluded from the trial, Daniels shared that she was asked about numerous other explicit details during her interactions with prosecutors.
Daniels recounted how the prosecutors, despite their attempts to be gentle, repeatedly asked her graphic questions to ensure they were thorough and to prepare her for the aggressive defense tactics she might face in court. She described being asked about specific aspects of the encounter, such as whether Trump’s tongue “darted in and out” of her mouth, how he touched her breasts, the feel of his skin, and whether he used a condom. These questions, Daniels explained, were intended to corroborate her account and counter Trump’s denials.
She shared that the questioning process was so detailed and specific that it forced her to remember things she had previously blocked out. For instance, she recalled having to wipe off semen from her leg, a memory that resurfaced due to the probing questions from prosecutors. Daniels admitted that while she has remembered more details over time, there are still parts of the encounter that remain unclear to her.
Throughout the interview, Daniels expressed her distress over the invasive nature of the questions and the emotional toll it took on her. She mentioned feeling unprepared for the defense’s aggressive tactics, particularly how one female defense attorney tried to slut-shame her during the trial. Daniels choked up as she talked about the emotional impact of revisiting these memories, emphasizing the difficulty of remembering and talking about such intimate and traumatic details
