Can we say that Stormy lied and justice died? This question is especially relevant now that video has emerged, courtesy of comedian-cum-commentator Bill Maher, showing that porn actress and ex-stripper Stormy Daniels’ testimony in President Donald Trump’s trial is completely contradicted by earlier statements she has made.
In other words, she likely has perjured herself. Commentator Andrea Widburg introduces the story:
[New York District Attorney] Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump alleges that Trump committed multiple felonies of unknown nature by writing checks to his attorney in a way that did not violate federal campaign laws. Although the attorney had used that money to cut a check to porn actress Stormy Daniels, anything Daniels had to say about an alleged tryst with Trump is irrelevant to these ludicrous charges. But Bragg and [New York Supreme Court Judge Juan] Merchan couldn’t resist trying to embarrass Trump, so there she was. That may have been a mistake because Daniels’ testimony was a disaster…and Bill Maher has now unearthed an old Daniels interview contradicting a major part of her testimony.
One of Daniels’s main contentions on the stand was that she felt used and abused by Trump. How dare a man assume that, just because she had sex for money and was an exhibitionist and allegedly went up alone to a billionaire’s hotel room and didn’t object to his advances, she wanted to have sex. She was the victim here. She was traumatized.
Except, this is not at all what Stormy said in 2018 while being interviewed by Maher. Responding to Maher’s statement, “You say it’s not a MeToo case,” Daniels confirmed at the time, “It’s not a MeToo case.”
