Stormy Daniels has claimed she could bring down Donald Trump's presidency and left open the possibility there may be a video of their hook-up during a Dutch TV interview on Thursday.
The porn star also said she fears for her safety as she pursues two lawsuits against the president, revealing she has received threats online and was concerned about 'some pissed-off Trump supporter or fan coming after me, doing something stupid'.
When asked on RTL Late Night with Twan Huys if she had enough evidence to remove Trump from office, she replied: 'Yes, there is stuff that I know, and I would say it's a 50-50 shot at this point. Which is pretty scary odds if you're the president.'

Daniels declined to expand on her comments because of the ongoing legal action and did not explain her theory for how the presidency would end, although she said Trump would not resign because 'he's too arrogant'.
The 39-year-old has become a darling of the president's opponents as she sues to void a 2016 nondisclosure agreement barring her from discussing her alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Daniels, through her lawyer Michael Avenatti, has also sued Trump for defamation. The president denies having sex with Daniels and is contesting the lawsuits.
She said her decision to take on Trump in public was a reaction to the bullying she had received from him and his associates.
'I really just got tired of being bullied and came forward not thinking of how grandiose this was going to become,' she said. 'It was basically just me saying, to quote my attorney Michael Avenatti, 'Basta,' you know, 'Enough.' 'You leave me alone or I'm going to tell my truth.'
'Then I started to feel sort of in danger and there's that whole thing about hiding in plain sight. If I'm public, they can't really do anything to me because everyone would know that it was them.'

President Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to Fargo, North Dakota, on Friday
The interview contained her first detailed public comments since former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's guilty plea at a federal court last month to tax evasion and violating campaign finance laws.
This included the admission he had paid Daniels $130,000 worth of hush money at Trump's instruction with the purpose of swaying the election.
Daniels, who also goes by the name Stephanie Clifford, said the news was the best day of her life.
'I opened a bottle of wine because I was in Italy. Champagne gives me a headache, so I was drinking wine, which — I am normally not much of a drinker,' she said.
'But the first phone call I got was from one of my bodyguards, Travis, and he was in tears and I was in tears. And it was just this moment where he was like, 'Everyone knows you're not a liar.''
'The only thing that really bothered me was people saying I lied,' she added.
On Friday, Cohen's company Essential Consultants offered to rescind the hush-money agreement and dropped plans for its threatened $20 million lawsuit against Daniels for allegedly violating the deal.

Avenatti has previously claimed there are 'multiple tapes' of the president in his possession, raising the possibility he has one of the night Daniels shared with Trump.
Asked by Huys if there was a videotape of the night, Daniels replied she 'couldn't comment on anything'.
When pressed on the matter she added: 'Michael Avenatti has other clients that have information that I am not privy to what he knows and doesn't know from other clients. As we all know, it is not okay for him to tell me.'
Although she insists to having 'no regrets' about her legal battle, Daniels admits she sometimes feels threatened.
'People show up, and even if it's for the right reasons, still a big group of people, even they're fans, can be quite dangerous,' she said. 'I travel with bodyguards and stuff now and just having them around sort of deters people from trying anything.'
She also opened up about her recent divorce from her husband of three years, Glendon Crain. 'The stress of all of this, he didn't sign up for that, and I totally understand where he's coming from,' she said.
But Daniels is defensive about other criticism of her family life, particularly jibes from trolls on social media that she should spend more time caring for her seven-year-old daughter.
'That's very hurtful... the bigger picture for that is, yeah, I might have given her a normal, happy, traditional home life for the next year or two, but what if things continue with Trump in the White House as they are and he does something really stupid and pushes that red button?'
Despite the praise she has received from some people for standing up to a powerful man like Trump, Daniels said she did not see herself as a 'super feminist'.
'I'm just human and I was just trying to do the right thing,' she said. 'I support women. I think we should be treated equal, all of that stuff. But I didn't set out trying to change the view of women.'

Daniels has her next court hearing scheduled for Monday, after it was delayed because of the ongoing federal case against Cohen.
An attorney for Cohen's Essential Consultants said the company wants Daniels to repay the $130,000 she was paid as part of the nondisclosure agreement, which was signed days before the 2016 presidential election, according to a letter included in a Friday night court filing.
The development could kill Avenatti's plan to try to compel the president to provide testimony under oath, if the agreement is rescinded and a judge agrees to dismiss the case.
In addition to the offer to quash the agreement, Essential Consultants also agreed to back off its plan to fight Daniels in private arbitration and will not pursue a lawsuit against her, Brent Blakely, an attorney for the company said in a letter to Daniels' lawyer. Cohen has said that Daniels could owe $20 million for violating the agreement.
Avenatti said Friday's development is 'a stunt by Michael Cohen trying to fix it so that Donald Trump is not deposed.'
Avenatti said he did not have to accept the offer and would not settle the case 'without the depositions,' which he said would include Trump.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
