People versus Donald Trump

Ex-President headed for dock

HUSH-MONEY porn star Stormy Daniels has said she fears injuries and death resulting from the indictment of former president Donald Trump.

The adult actress, who was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump, spoke ahead of his indictment on charges that experts say carry a possible four-year sentence.

The 44-year-old said: "Whatever the outcome is, it's going to cause violence, and there's going to be injuries and death. There's the potential for a lot of good to come from this. But either way, a lot of bad is going to come from it, too.

She also said she had received personal death threats.

The New York Police Department is bracing for civil unrest.

Ahead of Trump's appearance at 2.15pm on Tuesday at Lower Manhattan's Criminal Courts Building, metal barriers have gone up and at Trump Tower. All officers, of all ranks, were called to duty in uniform yesterday.

Trump, 76, is to be spared the humiliation of being paraded in handcuffs after a deal between his lawyers and prosecutors.

Due to fly in from his MarA-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, for the court date, he was reportedly shocked by a grand jury's decision to indict him.

One insider said: "Despite all his bravado, he is like a swan: calm on the surface, frantic underneath."

Although the indictment last night rema sealed, it is understood Trump faces more than 30 document fraud-related charges, two sources familiar with the matter have said.
