Washington, Jan 18: Porn star Stephanie Clifford — whose stage name is ‘Stormy Daniels’ – has claimed in an 2011 interview that she had an affair with United States President Donald Trump. The confirmation published in an American Tabloid also states that it had happened just four months after Melania Trump gave birth.
Clifford, in an exclusive interview with In Touch, said that she had sex with Trump at his Lake Tahoe, NV, hotel suite in 2006. She also alleged Trump of offering to cast her on The Apprentice, a reality show he hosted.
Claiming that sex with Trump was ‘textbook generic’, Clifford said, “We had really good banter.” She also added that Trump once told her that she was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful, smart, just like his daughter.
The news comes a few days after reports that Donald Trump‘s long-term attorney Michael Cohen allegedly paid $130,000 to Clifford to remain silent on a sexual encounter with the United President before the 2016 US Presidential elections.
In Touch added that Clifford “took and passed a polygraph test at the time of the interview.”
A report of Wall Street Journal claimed that the encounter took place in July 2006 after a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. However, Cohen, terming the report false, said the president has “vehemently” denied any encounter. Cohen added the rumors have been doing rounds since 2011.
Denying the report, Clifford said no such encounter took place. She emphasised President Trump remained a professional and gracious man during some of her public appearances. She said her involvement with Donald Trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more.
