The porn star rumoured to have had an affair with President Donald Trump has confirmed their sexual relationship in an interview that has just been published by US magazine, In Touch Weekly.
The interview with porn star Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was conducted by the magazine back in 2006 but was never published after Trump’s lawyers threatened to sue.
The magazine says they verified the woman’s account with several people close to her whom she told about it at the time including her then husband. Several of these people, including Clifford and her now ex-husband passed lie detector tests after making the claims about her affair with Trump.

Five years after giving the interview and right before the 2016 US election when Trump was running against Hillary Clinton, Clifford began talks with other media organisations in the US about telling her story but suddenly withdrew from these discussions after reportedly signing a confidentiality agreement with Trump’s lawyers worth US$130,000.

On being invited for dinner after meeting him at a golf tournament and discovering he wanted to eat in his hotel room:
“We hung out for a while. We talked. He asked me a lot of questions about my business. You know, the business I work in and how it works and how it functions. All like technical questions. He was very curious. Not necessarily about the sex or anything like that, but business questions. He kept showing me he was on the cover of a magazine that had just come out and it was some sort of money magazine, I wish I could remember which one it was. But he had it in the room and he kept showing it to me and I was like, “Dude, I know who you are.” He was trying to sell me, I guess. The first time I met him, the first couple of hours, he was very full of himself, like he was trying to impress me or something. But I do remember he just kept talking about this magazine that he was on the cover of, like, “Look at this magazine, don’t I look great on the cover?”
