Stormy Daniels , the porn actress for whom Donald Trump will be criminally prosecuted, said in an interview published Friday that she was "proud" to see the former US president face justice and "hopes" she will be called to court to testify.

In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, the 44-year-old actress, who received $130,000 before the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about her past relationship with Trump, said, "It's great, impressive, and I'm proud."

Paying this amount without registering it in the campaign accounts is especially the reason for criminal charges against Trump, in a historic precedent for a former president.

The actress, who claims to have had a sexual relationship with Trump before his election in 2016, added, in allegations the former president denies, that "the other side of this issue is that it will continue to divide people and lead them to conflict."

"Whatever the outcome is, it will lead to violence," said the actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, referring to the threats she has received since the announcement of Trump's criminal indictment.

The woman, who spoke to the British newspaper from an unspecified location in the United States, said she was "for the first time in her life" feeling afraid.

"I'm not afraid of him or the government, but all it takes is a crazy supporter who thinks he has to do God's work or protect democracy," she added.

However, she expressed "hope" that she would be summoned to testify in court against the 76-year-old former Republican president, even if she had not been formally summoned yet.

"I am not afraid, I have nothing to hide and I am happy to tell everyone what I know," she added.

"I saw him naked, it couldn't be more scary in clothes," she added.

Trump, who aspires to return to the White House in the 2024 elections, denounced the "false and shameful" accusation, which he considered to have been orchestrated by the Democrats before the presidential campaign.

His lawyers confirmed on Friday that their client intends to "fight" tirelessly to drop the charges against him.
