It was a restless night for Donald Trump, who ripped into ex-porn star Stormy Daniels Monday, claiming he’s a victim as a possible criminal indictment looms.
Trump launched the tirade on his social media platform Truth Social, saying he was the victim of a “Stormy “Horse Face” Daniels extortion plot,” since revealing his impending arrest by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over a hush money payment to the former adult film star before the 2016 election.
The ex-POTUS added he is being targeted by a series of “horrible radical left Democrat” investigations.
“Whether it’s the Mar-a-Lago raid, the Unselect Committee hoax, or the perfect Georgia phone call — it was absolutely perfect — or the Stormy ‘horse face’ Daniels extortion plot, they are all sick, and it’s fake news,” Trump said in a video shared on the platform Monday.
“Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them and they know it very strongly,” he continued. “And they’re looking at the polls where not me, but we, are up by so much they can’t even believe it.”
Donald Trump published a video to Truth Social, condemning the enemies against him ahead of his arrest.
“We won twice, and now we’ve got to win a third time.”
Trump went on to address his loyal followers, telling them directly, “They know that we can defeat them, they know that we will defeat them, but they are not coming after me — they are coming after you. I’m just standing in their way. And I always will stand in their way.”
Trump is facing possible indictment over a $130,000 hush money payment he allegedly made to Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — in 2016. Daniels claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The former president reimbursed Michael Cohen, his former attorney and “fixer,” for the payment, which was falsely recorded as “legal expenses.”
Trump’s lawyer said the former president continues to deny allegations of a sexual relationship with Stormy Daniels.
