During the trial, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger delved into Stormy Daniels' reasons for entering into the non-disclosure agreement, shedding light on her concerns for her safety. Daniels revealed that she had been advised that she would be safer if she remained in the public eye, as 'something won’t happen to you if everyone is looking at you.' This advice played a significant role in her decision to sign the NDA.
When Hoffinger inquired further, asking if Daniels was also motivated by the financial aspect of the agreement, Daniels responded by acknowledging that, like most people, she was happy to receive money. She emphasized that the financial gain was seen as a bonus rather than the primary reason for signing the NDA.
The testimony provided valuable insights into Daniels' mindset at the time of entering into the agreement, highlighting the complex factors that influenced her decision-making process. The discussion around safety concerns and financial incentives painted a more nuanced picture of the circumstances surrounding the NDA.
