Porn star Stormy Daniels hits back at Donald Trump after making a tirade on Truth Social about alleged hush money payments.
Daniels claims to have slept with Trump in 2006, but the ex-president denied the allegations Monday on his Truth Social app, mocking Daniels as “horseface.”
A grand jury is scheduled to hear this week about the former president’s role in the payment Daniels was silenced during his 2016 campaign, the New York Times reported.
The porn star responded to Trump’s tirade on Twitter, claiming, “He opens his mouth more than I open my legs.”
“Thank you for just admitting that I was telling the truth about EVERYTHING,” Daniels wrote. Guess I’ll put my ‘horse face’ back to bed now, Mr. former ‘President’.”

Daniels claims she slept with Trump while he was married to former first lady Melania Trump, who gave birth to their son Barron less than six months before their brief affair.
She said the president paid her $130,000 to remain silent.
Trump slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a “radical” prosecutor during the trial.
He also accused Bragg of spending more time investigating him than prosecuting crimes in New York City and alleges that the Democrat leaked the grand jury report himself to the press.
“With homicides and violent crime on the rise like never before in New York City, Alvin Bragg, prosecutor for the Radical Left in Manhattan, has just leaked to the Fake News Media that they’re still after the stormy “horseface” Daniels,” Trump wrote on Monday afternoon .
“Working closely with the Weaponized Justice Department, this is a sequel to the greatest witch hunt of all time. They missed the statute of limitations a long time ago, and I recently won big money beating “Stormy” in the 9th circle – never had an affair. This is old news!’
His “big money” line is likely referring to a judge who recently ordered Daniels to pay nearly $300,000 towards Trump’s legal claims after her lawsuit against him failed. She had sued him for defamation because he denied their alleged affair.
Daniels added on Tuesday: “I like sex. He likes to lie. Seems a perfect analogy to me.’
The case could potentially lead to criminal charges.

Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen previously admitted to paying Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, to keep quiet about the alleged affair.
Cohen pleaded guilty to violating the campaign finance law in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison for arranging the payment and a non-disclosure agreement.
He told a judge at the time that they were made “in consultation with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office.”
Now, with Trump out of office for several years and embarking on another campaign, witnesses are expected to speak before the New York grand jury as prosecutors argue why the former president should be indicted.

Among the witnesses seen at Monday’s Manhattan court hearing was reportedly David Pecker, former editor of the National Enquirer.
He previously admitted to prosecutors that he “collaborated” with the 2016 Trump campaign to arrange hush money payments for Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
A statement from the Manhattan Attorney at the time said he helped facilitate the payments so the women would “not release harmful allegations” about Trump.
Other witnesses expected include former National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard and two Trump Organization employees, according to the Times.
Late last week, it was revealed that federal prosecutors had been discussing charging Trump with campaign finance violations over the payments made to Daniels and McDougal after he left office.
While Justice Department guidance warned against indicting an incumbent president, there have been talks about whether the evidence from the 2018 indictment against Cohen should be used to prosecute Trump after his term expires, according to CNN’s book Untouchable -Analyst Elie Honig.
But that was apparently derailed by this month’s chaos, including the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and Trump’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.
Honig wrote that such national crises made alleged campaign fouls “kind of trivial and outdated by comparison.”
