Multiple Trump accusers told People Magazine that they support Daniels’s legal battle to be able to talk.
“I am sure she is telling the truth, I think she is brave to do it and the more women who come forward the better,” one accuser told the magazine, speaking on condition of anonymity because of threats she’s received.

“Although that affair with Stormy was consensual, it was tawdry because he was married and had an infant and because she is a porn star,” she said. “I am grateful she’s trying to talk because it shows what type of man he is, for the proof of it.”

The payment came shortly after the release of Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, in which he bragged about kissing and fondling women without their consent.
More than a dozen women came forward during Trump’s presidential campaign to accuse him of sexual misconduct. He and the White House have denied all of the allegations.
“His supporters don’t care,” Jessica Leeds, who says Trump groped her on an airplane in the early 1980s, tells People. “They knew all along and accepted the fact. I don’t think it will change anyone’s opinion, even if she wins her suit.”
Another accuser, Natasha Stoynoff, said she Googles Daniels’s name every morning.
“Let’s just say that all week I’ve been envisioning her as Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ come December,” said Stoynoff, who claims that Trump assaulted her while she was interviewing him for a profile for People in 2005.
“I’m cheering her on! She’s got a lot of guts and like many women, I trust she’s had enough of his lies,” Stoynoff continued. “Here’s hoping she puts an end to them once and for all for the sake of country.”
“I think I have more respect for her than for our president,” one accuser told People. “I never thought I’d be rooting for a porn star. I think it’s a more honest way to make a living than what he’s doing.”
Daniels is suing Trump to void a nondisclosure agreement blocking her from speaking out about the alleged affair. She said the deal is void because Trump never signed it himself.
Daniels’s lawyer has stated that the adult film star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is free to discuss the alleged affair because Cohen confirmed the payment, breaking the agreement.
“60 Minutes” is expected to air a highly anticipated interview with Daniels later this month.
