I haven't been following the Stormy Daniels story very closely.
We already know how Trump treats women; he told us himself before people voted him into office. And, I don't care about consensual affairs, personally.
I did watch a video of the interview this morning. I don't have any doubt that Trump's people are lying when they deny the sexual encounter took place. Since those lies aren't under oath, there's not really any violation of laws as far as I can see.
I think the real threat to Trump in this story is whether he paid his personal "Ray Donovan-wannabe" attorney Michael Cohen back for the hush money. That could be a violation of campaign finance laws. But, even that would likely result in nothing but a fine.
If someone really did threaten Daniels with physical violence while she was with her child and she can identify the person, however, the person who made the threats could face criminal charges and so could anyone who put him up to it. But, it doesn't appear she knew the alleged threat-maker, based on her interview with Anderson Cooper.
Anyway, I was kinda surprised to read this morning that her interview garnered 60 Minutes its highest ratings since 2008.
