Stormy Daniels wore a bulletproof vest underneath her clothes to and from the Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump’s criminal trial is underway, her attorney revealed Monday.
In an interview on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” Daniels’ attorney Clark Brewster, said she was “paralyzed” with fear over what “some nut might do to her” that she took the extra precaution of wearing a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse.
“She was concerned about the security coming into New York,” Brewster said. “She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse.”
“I can tell you that before she came on Sunday, I mean, she cried herself to sleep,” he continued. “She was paralyzed with fear, not of taking the stand or telling her story, but what some nut might do to her. And I’m genuinely concerned about it as well.”
A $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels is at the center of Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in New York. The former president is facing 34 felony counts of allegedly falsifying business records to pay hush money to Daniels to keep quiet about his extramarital affair during the 2016 presidential election.
Daniels offered graphic testimony about her alleged encounter with Trump last week. Trump has denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
