Stormy Daniels: Trump doesn't deserve jail time on hush money charges
The adult film star sat down with Fox Nation host Piers Morgan to discuss Trumps indictment in connection with hush money payments she received leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Stormy Daniels sat down with Piers Morgan Wednesday for a 90-minute interview he called "astonishing," as the porn star tells her side of the story that's led to criminal charges against former President Trump.
The "Piers Morgan Uncensored" interview is set to hit Fox Nation at 4:00 pm ET on Thursday.
Last week, Daniels was scheduled to speak with Morgan for her first interview since Trump’s historic indictment over his alleged participation in a campaign fraud and hush money scheme, but postponed it at the last minute. Morgan took to Twitter Wednesday to announce they rescheduled.
"I just finished an astonishing 90-minute interview with Stormy Daniels," Morgan wrote on Twitter. "Everyone's had their say about her, now she tells HER story about the fling that may send President Trump to prison."

Trump has pleaded not guilty to falsifying business records related to alleged hush-money payments to Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign. He was arraigned Tuesday in New York City, after being indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
During the stunning interview, Morgan asked Daniels if she was prepared to testify at a potential trial.
"It's daunting, but I look forward to it. You know what I mean? Because I have nothing to hide," she said. "I'm the only one that has been telling the truth. And, you know, it can't shame me anymore
Daniels then said there is "absolutely" no doubt she would testify.
"I think having them call me in and put me on the stand legitimizes my story and who I am. And if they don't, it almost feels like they're hiding me," Daniels said.
Despite being eager to take the stand, the adult film star doesn’t believe Trump deserves to land in jail – at least for the hush money case.
"I don't think that his crimes against me are worthy of incarceration. I feel like the other things that he has done, if he is found guilty. Absolutely," she said.

Trump has dismissed any notion of wrongdoing.
"I never thought anything like this could happen in America. I never thought it could happen," Trump said Tuesday night. "The only crime that I have committed is fearlessly defending our nation from those who seek to destroy it."
Before speaking with Morgan, Daniels responded with a vulgar message that gloated over not being "under arrest."
"Y'all keep saying ‘c-- dumpster’ like it's a bad thing," Daniels tweeted. "It's definitely more fun being under my sexy man instead of under arrest."
It was unclear to whom she was directing the tweet. Also on Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals awarded Trump nearly $122,000 in attorney fees from Daniels over a failed defamation suit she brought against him in 2018.
