Stormy Daniels warns Donald Trump will trigger ‘death and destruction’ after indictment over hush money allegations
STORMY Daniels has warned Donald Trump could trigger "death and destruction" after a grand jury voted to indict the former US President over alleged hush money payments.
Daniels, 44, said she is ready to face the former US President in court, calling him, "no longer untouchable."
But she warned of the consequences of the indictment - which has already begun to deepen the political rifts within the US.
Trump himself has been using the indictment to energise his base, as he characterizes the case against him as a politically motivated witch hunt.
Stormy - who claims she had a brief affair with Trump in 2006 - said whatever the outcome of the case "a lot of bad is going to come with it."
"It’s monumental and epic, and I’m proud," she told The Times.

The adult star went on: "The other side of it is that it’s going to continue to divide people and bring them up in arms.
"He’s already gotten away with inciting a riot, and causing death and destruction.
“Whatever the outcome is, it’s going to cause violence, and there’s going to be injuries and death."
Trump continues to have face scrutiny for his role in the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

His rally amid efforts to overturn the result of the election turned violent, with around 2,000 of his supporters marching on the Capitol.
Five people died - included one cop - and at least 138 police officers were injured during the chaos.
Stormy - who was forced to pull out of an interview with Piers Morgan - revealed she also fears for her own safety.
"The number and the intensity is the same as it was the first time around, but this time it’s straight-up violent," she said.
"The first time it was ‘gold digger’, ‘s**t’, ‘w***e’, ‘liar’ whatever. And this time it’s ‘I’m gonna murder you’.
"They’re way more violent and graphic."
She added she is "frightened" for the first time since she went public with her claims about Trump.
"Part of me is hesitant to say that because you don’t want blood in the water. It kind of encourages the sharks," said Stormy.
"It’s especially scary because Trump himself is inciting violence and encouraging it."
Despite the historic indictment making Trump, 76, the first former President to face criminal charges, Daniels said the news is "bittersweet."
"I am fully aware of the insanity of it being a porn star. But it’s also poetic," she said.
Stormy added: "A person in power is not exempt from the law.
"And no matter what your job is, or what your bank account says, you’re held accountable for the things you’ve said and done, and justice is served."
The charges against Trump have yet to be made public but prosecutors have been investigating an alleged payment of $130,000 to Daniels a week before the 2016 election.
Trump is likely to appear before the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday after announcing his surrender.
"We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference," Bragg wrote in a letter to three Republican House committee chairs on Friday.
He could face up to 30 charges related to business fraud, reported the Associated Press.
Trump will be photographed and have his fingerprints taken after turning himself in.
He will be flanked by armed Secret Service agents who must protect him at all times, per The New York Times.
Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina told ABC News on Friday that the former president "will not be put in handcuffs."
The former commander-in-chief has vehemently denied any wrongdoing throughout the probe.
He wrote on his Truth Social platform: "This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.
He claimed Democrats have "cheated countless times over the decades" and deemed the Manhattan DA "a disgrace."
Meanwhile, Daniels - real name, Stephanie Gregory Clifford - said that when the news came, "I was on a horse named Redemption."
She was actually on a horse - Daniels is an accomplished equestrian, claiming to have used some of the $130,000 to buy a horse trailer.
When the news of the indictment came, Daniels had gone outside to ride her horse after taking a nap.
“There was no warning,” she said.

Stormy joked: "I’ve seen him naked. There’s no way he could be scarier with his clothes on."
Trump has long denied ever having an affair with Daniels.
