The husband of Stormy Daniels said there was a “good chance” the couple would leave the US if Donald Trump was acquitted in his criminal trial over secret payments to the adult film star.
“I think if he’s not guilty, we have to decide what to do. Good chance we’ll probably leave this country,” Barrett Blade said CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Tuesday.
“If he is found guilty, then she still has to deal with all the hate. I feel like she’s the reason he’s guilty of all his followers, so I don’t see it as a win-win situation either way.”
Blade’s comments come after Daniels appeared in court last week to deliver a powerful blow certificate about her alleged sexual relationship with Trump nearly 20 years ago.
Among the questions she said Trump asked her was, “What about testing? Are you worried about sexually transmitted diseases?’
Daniels also said Trump compared her to his daughter Ivanka, saying, “You remind me of my daughter. She’s smart and blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her too.”
She testified that when she returned from the bathroom in Trump’s hotel room, she found him on the bed wearing boxers and a T-shirt. Daniels said she tried to leave, but Trump stood between her and the door.
“He said, ‘I thought we were getting somewhere. I thought you were serious about what you wanted,’” Daniels recalled.
Daniels and Michael Cohen, Trump’s former go-between, are at the center of Trump’s landmark criminal case. Prosecutors allege Cohen worked with tabloid publisher David Packer to bury unfavorable stories that would potentially affect Trump’s 2016 presidential bid, and that Cohen facilitated the $130,000 payment to Daniels shortly before the elections.
Trump has been accused of falsifying business documents. Prosecutors say the former president falsely listed his payments to Cohen as legal fees.
Trump’s defense team tried to discredit Daniels, with attorney Susan Necheles at one point saying, “You have a lot of experience making fake sex stories look real.”

“I wouldn’t put it that way,” Daniels replied. “Sex in movies is very real, just like what happened to me in that room.”
In a more pointed question, Necheles asked, “You wanted to extort money from President Trump, right?”, to which Daniels replied, “False.”
Blade was asked by CNN about the allegations that Daniels made up the affair. “I think she’s a brilliant writer,” Blade said. “So she would have written something much better than what she said about the Trump story.”
He continued: “She wants to go through with it. We just want to do what… normal people would do in some aspects, but I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen and it breaks my heart.
“Everybody has their own agenda for her at this point and I don’t see people fighting for her.”
