Porn star Stormy Daniels today calls for President Trump to face justice, insisting: “He is not above the law.”

In the darkest week of his presidency, Trump’s ex-lover tells the Sunday Mirror he should face impeachment if found to have broken US election rules.

In an exclusive interview, Stormy said that she:

Will give evidence to Congress against Trump if he is impeached.

Has received death threats from the President’s supporters.

Was reduced to tears by women who turned to her for support after suffering sex harassment.

Learned to stand up for herself after a tough childhood in which she was left home alone without food.

Stormy spoke in the same week that Trump’s former lawyer Mike Cohen, 52, pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws by paying her $130,000 “hush money”.

Another of the President’s alleged lovers, ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal, 47, is said to have had her silence bought in a $150,000 deal with the pro-Trump National Enquirer.

And fresh claims emerged yesterday that Trump, 72, also had a secret love child with a housekeeper.

The President faces yet more ­pressure on three fronts:

The ongoing probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US election; a poll boost for rival Democrats which could hasten an impeachment vote; and reported immunity for key figures helping the authorities probe hush money payments.

Stormy told the Mirror: “If Donald Trump has done things he shouldn’t have during his campaign he should be impeached. If he has broken the law he should be arrested and treated like anyone else.

“I’ll happily testify under oath and prove my story is true.

“I have always said that the truth is the most important thing and that is why I spoke out in the first place – so I can look my daughter in the eye and know I was honest. Now the truth is coming out and justice must be done.”

Stormy, 39, claimed she was initially intimidated into keeping silent and is suing both Trump and Cohen amid claims a non-disclosure agreement she signed is invalid.

She told us: “I will not be silenced, but being called a liar is the hardest part. I am glad other people are now telling the truth. I am just fighting for the truth and I believe everyone should be treated equally. Trump probably wishes he’d never met me, but a lot of men feel like that.”

Last weekend the articulate mum of one turned down a reported £750,000 to appear on Celebrity Big Brother after, she claims, Channel Five “screwed” her at the last minute.

Stormy talked to the Mirror earlier this week at a secret location in the English countryside. She spoke about meeting Trump at a Lake Tahoe golf event in 2006. Stormy claims they had sex once then – and met up on two further occasions. The President has been swamped by accusations of sexually harassing women.

But Stormy said: “I have to be very clear he DIDN’T do that to me, it was consensual. But if the allegations from other women are true he should be in jail.”

Of her alleged fling with Trump, she said: “I’m normally such a prude! I don’t do one-night stands.

“People would be surprised to know that outside work I have only slept with about 25 men. If I see a cute guy in a bar, I chicken out. But on this occasion I was intrigued by Trump. I like very interesting people.”

Stormy is prevented from revealing intimate details due to her ongoing lawsuit. But she says she barely recognised Trump when they met.

How scandal has unfolded July 2006 Donald Trump meets Stormy Daniels at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, just four months after wife Melania gives birth to their son Barron, now 12. Daniels claims she had sex with the tycoon. October 2016 Daniels is paid $130,000 by lawyer Michael Cohen to keep quiet about the alleged affair, just weeks before voters go to the polls. She now claims she was intimidated into silence. November 2016 Trump wins the presidency, defeating rival Hillary Clinton in a result which sends shockwaves around the world. January 2018 The Wall Street Journal carries a report about the payment and names Daniels. Trump denies both the affair and any knowledge of the payment. March 2018 Daniels takes legal action against Trump in a bid to prove the non-disclosure agreement is not valid because he didn’t sign it. April 2018 Cohen’s office is raided by the FBI, which seizes emails, tax documents and business records. August 2018 Cohen admits breaking election laws by paying hush money to two women, believed to be Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, who also claims to have had sex with Trump.

She went on: “There were lots of people around but I didn’t go after him. I didn’t chat him up and he didn’t chat me up – we were just talking. I knew very little. I wasn’t a fan of his and I’d never watched The Apprentice.

“He didn’t yell ‘You’re fired’, although I bet now he wishes he had.”

At the time, the tycoon’s wife Melania, 48, was at home nursing their four-month-old son Barron. Washington is awash with rumours that Melania, now First Lady, feels trapped and miserable in her marriage.

But Stormy said: “People should stop speaking for her. Maybe she’s happy. Everything we say about her is a projection. Some people misplace sorrow and pity on another person.

“The entire world would be interested to know what she feels. But if we never know, that is her right and I support it.”

Stormy said she forgot all about Trump until he ran for President – to her “amusement and disbelief”.

During campaigning a tape emerged in which he boasted he could do anything with women because he was a “star”, adding: “Grab them by the pu**y.”

Stormy said: “I’m shocked there are women who are okay with it. It’s my job to grab women and if I said that I’d get in more trouble than him.”

It was in January this year that the story broke of Stormy and Trump’s alleged fling. Overnight, she became an icon for women who claimed they had suffered harassment – even though Stormy insists that her relationship with Trump was consensual.

She went on: “I’d no idea I would end up standing up for everyone but it has been a privilege I never expected.

“It’s hard enough to face these powerful people but to have others place their hope and trust in you is a big deal. I’m not a feminist, I’m just human.”

Stormy revealed that one woman confided in her that her sister had killed herself after being raped. Others have said her experience encouraged them to report abuse and sexual harassment.

Stormy – who appears in US clubs in a touring strip show – said: “I sometimes go back to my dressing room after listening to other people’s stories and it just makes me want to cry.

“Sometimes we all cry together. But I am there to do a job so I pull myself together and then get back on stage.

“I can be standing completely naked on stage and a woman will start crying. I’m like: ‘Oh my God, I really just want to hug you’.”

Stormy said standing up to Trump came at a price. In March, she received so many death threats that she had to hire two bodyguards who never leave her side.

Some of Trump’s fanatical supporters have bombarded her with terrifying messages.

One man approached her in a car park, said she had a lovely daughter and “it would be a shame if something happened to her Mommy”.

Stormy added: “I’ve been told: ‘Watch out, b*tch I’m coming for you, I’m going to cut your throat’ – and ‘Your kid should be euthanised’. It’s horrible stuff.”

Stormy has now left the UK for a secret location following the row over her last-minute exit from Celebrity Big Brother.

She said: “When I agreed to the show I made it clear I was going on to let people see what I am really about, not to be negative about the US administration or to reveal what happened with Trump.

“Then when I arrived, I realised the show had been advertised with promises of me ‘revealing secrets’ – which I couldn’t do for legal reasons. I filmed some pre-recorded footage but they scripted me to say things like ‘every White House needs a First Lady’ and revealed there would be a White House set.

“That’s when I realised it wasn’t going to be what I had agreed to.”

Stormy has faced accusations that she asked for more money – but she and CBB have both denied this.

She added: “It’s never been about money.”

The sensational allegations that the President had a lovechild were made by Dino Sajudin, a former doorman at Trump Tower.

He sold the story to the owners of the National Enquirer, said to have bought exclusive rights to negative stories about Trump and kept them locked in a safe – unpublished.

Meanwhile, an opinion poll gives the Democrats a six-point lead over Republicans ahead of the midterm elections – and that could be crucial in any impeachment vote.

Trump denies any wrongdoing over payments admitted by Cohen and claims that he has been the subject of a “witch hunt”.
