Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who claims to have had an affair with former President Donald Trump, has reportedly raised over $4m in just one day after her indictment was announced. Her website is offering various merchandise including T-shirts and posters featuring the hashtag "#TEAMSTORMY" as well as a chew toy that resembles Mr. Trump.
Ms. Daniels defended herself from criticism of profiting off of the controversy during a live stream on OnlyFans. She pointed out that Mr. Trump himself is using the case to raise funds.
The indictment against Ms. Daniels relates to allegations that she made about being threatened by someone connected with Mr.Trump's team back in 2011 if she spoke publicly about their alleged affair. The charges include conspiracy and making false statements.
Despite this, Ms.Daniels seems unfazed and has been actively promoting her merchandise since the announcement of her fundraising success.
"I'm grateful for everyone's support," said Ms.Daniels during her livestream on OnlyFans." I'm not trying to profit from this situation any more than anyone else involved."
It remains unclear whether or not Ms.Daniels' legal troubles will result in further action against President Trump or his associates.
In any case, it appears that Stormy Daniels is determined to make the most out of what may be considered a difficult situation for both parties involved - at least financially speaking anyway.
