'Stormy opened the door': Daniels’ husband reveals 'biggest heartbreak' of New York trial
Although adult film actress Stormy Daniels' cross-examination in Donald Trump's New York hush money trial is over — the hate she continues to receive in the process is not — according to her husband, Barrett Blade.
The former president was charged with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to suppress a $130,000 hush money payment made to Daniels in an effort to benefit his 2016 campaign.
Blade spoke with CNN's Erin Burnett Tuesday about his thoughts on the trial and his wife's involvement.

"Have you discussed what happens — when you talk about getting on with your life [at the trial's conclusion] — if Trump is found not guilty?" Burnett asked.
"If Trump is found not guilty, either way, I don't think it gets better for her," Blade said. "I think if it's not guilty we got to decide what to do. It's a good chance we'll probably vacate this country. If he is found guilty, then she's still got to deal with all the hate, and I feel like she's the reason that he's guilty from all of his followers. So I don't see it as a win situation either way.
He emphasized, "I know that we would like to get on with our lives. I know that she wants to move past this. We just want we just want to do what normal people get to do, in some aspects, but I don't know if that ever will be. And it breaks my heart, some of the things that she has to go through that people don't realize.
"For example," Blade continued, "I don't see people fighting back for her. For instance, [veteran journalist] E. Jean Carroll — although we're super happy that everything that happened for happened — Stormy opened the door, but Stormy got sued for the exact same two comments, and she ended up getting legal fees she's got to pay for, but no one wants to help her with that."

"Or the women's groups; She fights for women's groups all day long, and I don't see anyone doing GoFundMe's to try to help with her legal fees and to help her out," he added. "[Disgraced celebrity attorney] Michael Avenatti — he did a GoFundMe to try to help her — but he ended up stealing all her money. There's a list that goes on and on and on."
"No one comes back and helps her out," Blade emphasized. "So that's the biggest heartbreak I think out of everything that's going on right now is that she's fighting for everybody and no one's fighting for her. And that's what makes me the most upset about all of the situation."
