Stormy Daniels issued a defiant message to Donald Trump following his conviction of falsifying business records, boasting that it was a "checkmate motherf***er."
In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, the adult actress spoke out for the first time since Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges in his hush money case after her testimony helped bring a stunning conviction against the former US president. Stormy, who says she was “shocked” over how quickly the jury found the former president guilty, believes it showed they believed her testimony.

She said: “I don’t know what the sentencing could be or what Trump will even understand. It’s like when you have a child, and sometimes you take the electronics away from them, but if your child is very artistic, they don’t care.
"They’ll just go colour their colouring books, and then you have another child that, you know, they don’t want to go outside. You gotta ground them or like take away electronics or don’t let them have dessert. You have to find the punishment that not just matches the crime, but is fair and just, and that impacts that particular person. Who knows what that is with Trump.”

When asked about what sentence Trump should receive, Stormy remained unsure. (Stormy Daniels/Myspace.com)At the heart of Trump’s conviction was a $130,000 (£102,000) payment made to Stormy by Trump’s then-lawyer, Michael Cohen. According to the prosecution, it was to ensure she remained silent in the days leading up to the 2016 US election about the alleged sexual encounter she had with the businessman at a celebrity golf tournament ten years earlier - which he denies.
The prosecution alleged Cohen and Trump, 77, falsified business records to cover up the reimbursement of the payment to the lawyer. During the trial’s closing arguments, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass argued to the jury that paying to silence Stormy could have “very well” been what “got President Trump elected.”

If Clinton, who Trump campaigned against with the slogan "Lock her up", had won those states, she would have sealed the presidency.
Asked about who she will be casting her ballot for on November 5, Republican Stormy said she found it hard to vote for Biden but would definitely not be backing her presidential paramour. She says: "I would like to encourage everyone to vote.
"I understand not liking either of the candidates and having difficulty bringing yourself to vote in this situation but remember, NOT voting for Biden is the same as voting FOR Trump. That's what is important. How is it that this amazing country that we live in is full of all these amazing people, and yet Trump and Biden are all we have? Like that's it? I just don't understand."
