Tuesday marked a turning point in American politics with the arrest of former president Donald J. Trump by New York City police.
Trump is accused of 34 felony counts of paying former porn star Stormy Daniels hush money. She claimed he violated the law by accepting these illegal contributions during his presidential campaign. Despite mounting evidence against him, Donald Trump continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Stormy Daniels is currently experiencing a significant rise in prominence. She is also mentioned on X-rated platforms, i.e., Pornhub, indicating that her popularity is expanding beyond mainstream media.

For those unaware, Pornhub is the world’s largest pornographic entertainment video platform. It’s akin to YouTube for adult content; the metrics indicate the most popular entertainers.
Stormy Daniels is no longer active in the industry; her notoriety has skyrocketed since Tuesday when the former president was arrested.
The platform informed TMZ staff about the genuinely astounding statistics. Last week, only about 34,500 people searched for her name, but on Tuesday alone, that number soared to an astounding 650,000.
Due to a recent legal dispute, she had to reimburse Donald Trump for approximately $120,000 in additional legal fees so that she could use some income.

Pornhub did not disclose to TMZ whether she receives a portion of the revenue generated by search activity on the platform. It is alleged that the former president fabricated financial documents to conceal a payment of $130,000, reportedly made by Michael Cohen, his attorney at the time, to keep Stormy Daniels silent.
