‘How Stormy Daniels Sees It Ending’

The last time Olivia Nuzzi interviewed Stormy Daniels for New York Magazine, it was October 2018, and the world had only recently come to learn who she was, thanks to The Wall Street Journal’s report on presidential fixer Michael Cohen’s efforts to buy her silence. What now in retrospect seems like just another Trump-world sideshow has led to the first criminal indictment of a U.S. president. In our latest cover story, Nuzzi visited Daniels at her home as prosecutors prepared to formally charge Trump in Manhattan. Daniels reflected on the forgettable dalliance that upended history and enlisted the help of the spirits in predicting how this whole wild ordeal may eventually end.
