Stormy Daniels is finally getting the recognition she deserves. The former adult film star will be honored by the witches of Salem during their annual Halloween event, after enduring a modern-day witch hunt for testifying against Donald Trump. Daniels, 45, told The Boston Globe she and her 13-year-old daughter are both practicing witches. “I can’t find the words to explain emotionally how big this is to me,” she said. Daniels has received death and rape threats from Trump supporters since testifying that the former president paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about a consensual sexual encounter they had in 2006, soon after Trump’s wife Melania had given birth to son Barron. The Republican presidential candidate was convicted of 34 counts of fraud in connection with the payment, which his former lawyer Michael Cohen attempted to cover up for him. Daniels has said the trial “physically destroyed” her. She told the Globe she’s been living out of an RV after Trump’s lawyer “accidentally” showed her home address during the trial. “I’m living in an RV because I can’t go home,” she said. “The persecution those witches felt hundreds of years ago feels very familiar to me.”
