Stormy Daniels, in an interview on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, talked about her testimony and claims regarding former President Donald Trump, particularly focusing on her description of his anatomy as “tiny” and mushroom-shaped.

During the interview, Daniels emphasized that her description of Trump’s genitals was crucial evidence for her credibility. She expressed certainty in her testimony and defended her statements against critics who questioned their relevance and appropriateness in court.

Rachel Maddow asked Daniels about the characterization of her testimony by the prosecution and whether she agreed with its relevance to the trial. Daniels affirmed that she fully supported how her testimony was presented, highlighting that she only answered questions truthfully and did not embellish or fabricate details.

Addressing the discomfort some observers expressed about her explicit testimony, Daniels stressed that she had to relive personal and intimate details in court, knowing they would become public record. She underscored that such details were necessary to substantiate her claims and prove the truthfulness of her account.

Daniels also commented on Trump’s reaction, suggesting that if her description had been false, he would have publicly refuted it long ago. She implied that Trump’s attempts to silence her were indicative of his acknowledgment of the accuracy of her statements.

RACHEL MADDOW: Do you agree with the way they characterized you in this case, the prosecution? Yeah. The way that this — the way that he’s saying your testimony functioned and why it was relevant to this crime?

STORMY DANIELS: Yes, absolutely.

RACHEL MADDOW: Yeah.

STORMY DANIELS: Absolutely. Why would I make some of that stuff up and, you know, yeah, yeah, I am — I’m comfortable with it.

And for those people out there who were like, oh, they let her get up there and say whatever she wanted. And I was keep in mind, I did nothing but answer the questions. I didn’t go up there and present an essay to a spoken word theater. You know?

It was — I answered questions. And if you don’t want to hear the answer, don’t ask me the questions. And for those people who said that was uncomfortable to witness or to hear — I lived it!

All you had to do is hear my very — my very PG-rated version on the stand. I had to relive it. I had to say it in court, in front of all these people, knowing that it would be public record, that my daughter is going to read this. Everybody’s going to read this.

In preparing for the case, remember, I had to go back and think about all these details and make sure that I had everything absolutely accurate. And it is important because it proves that I was telling the truth and I don’t — maybe that’s just 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 that I wish there was something else I could prove?

I wish he had a birthmark that looked like the state of Texas on his shoulder. You know, or funny looking mole.

That’s the only thing that proves that I did — that he did take his clothes off in front of me!

RACHEL MADDOW: Yeah.

STORMY DANIELS: And you know as well as I do that if he had that, it was not that I was lying. He’d have whipped his junk out a long time ago and and proved that I was a liar. And it’s the only thing I have!

And he knows I’m telling the truth, which is why he wanted to shut me up.
