The former U.S. President Donald Trump’s trial relies primarily on porn star Stormy Daniels.
Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said that shortly before the 2016 presidential election, former personal attorney Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 to remain silent about an alleged affair with Trump ten years ago.
According to CNN, the former president is under investigation for his alleged involvement in this late October 2016 attempt to pay Daniels.
Donald Trump, the former president’s legal counsel, paid the fee out of his pocket before receiving reimbursement from sources other than the presidential campaign.
However, in 2018, the woman wrote a book that elaborated on her purported relationship with the businessman.
Stephanie Clifford, a native of Louisiana, claims in her 2018 book that she endured repeated sexual abuse as a youngster. Stephanie Clifford was born into a low-income family.
During her adolescence, she relocated to California to attempt a career in adult entertainment, where her stage identity, Stormy Daniels, was born.
She has expertise working in pornographic films as a director, producer, and exotic dancer.
Stephanie Clifford claims she met Donald Trump for the first time in 2006 at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. She states that the businessman’s security led her to his room, where she anticipated having dinner with Trump but instead had a sexual encounter.
Stormy Daniels claims that Trump’s offer to have her appear on “The Apprentice” was why she agreed to have sexual relations with him. However, the former businessman told her she could not participate in the 2018 event.
Daniels stated in an interview with CBS that she had agreed to disclose information about her connection with Trump to In Touch magazine in 2011 in exchange for $15,000, but that the plan fell through after Michael Cohen threatened to sue the publication.
