Back in 2011, porn star Stormy Daniels told In Touch magazine about her alleged year-long affair with Donald Trump. In Touch didn’t publish the story at the time but today they published it in their print edition and posted excerpts from it online:
It all started at the American Century celebrity golf tournament in July 2006. “[Trump] was introduced to everybody. He kept looking at me and then we ended up riding to another hole on the same golf cart together,” Stormy recalled, adding that the business mogul later came to the gift lounge her adult-film company, Wicked Pictures, sponsored and asked for her number, which she gave him, before they posed for a photo together.
“Then he asked me if I wanted to have dinner that night. And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course!’” she told In Touch. Stormy, dressed up to go out on the town, arrived at Trump’s hotel room, where she says she was greeted by a bodyguard named Keith, who let her inside. Stormy claims Trump was sprawled on the couch watching TV, wearing pajama pants. “We ended up having dinner in the room,” she revealed to In Touch.
Daniels claims that she got up to use the bathroom and when she came out Trump was sitting on the bed. She says Trump invited her over and they began kissing and eventually had sex. She says she recalls thinking “Please, don’t try to pay me.” Afterwards, she says Trump promised to call her and said he wanted to get her on the Apprentice.
You’ll have to buy the magazine if you want all the details, including Trump’s pet name for Daniels. But the Daily Beast reports that In Touch is planning to publish a transcript of the entire interview with Daniels, which runs over 5,000 words:
According to a source familiar with the matter, later this week, InTouch is planning to run the entire unedited interview it conducted with Daniels. All 5,500 words of it…
A source tells The Daily Beast that the full, unedited interview that will run later this week is 5,500 words of “cray.” Daniels didn’t leave much out in describing the affair, which involved a few more encounters in the months following their first tryst in Tahoe.
Daniels apparently signed a settlement agreement with Trump just before last year’s election. The loophole here is that her interview with In Touch happened years before she signed that agreement and the magazine is under no obligation to abide by it. The other news on this front yesterday was that Fox News allegedly spiked a story on this topic a month before the 2016 election. CNN reports:
One of the network’s reporters, Diana Falzone, had filed a story in October 2016 about an alleged sexual relationship between Clifford and Trump, people familiar with the matter said.
Falzone had an on-the-record statement from Clifford’s manager at the time, Gina Rodriguez, confirming that her client had engaged in a sexual relationship with Trump, three of these people said, and Falzone had even seen emails about a settlement.
But the story never saw the light of the day, to the frustration of Falzone, two of the people said.
“She had the story and Fox killed it,” one of the people familiar with the matter told CNN.
A spokesperson for Fox claims the network was working on the story but wasn’t able to confirm it. This certainly looks bad because of the suspicion that Fox might have spiked the story to avoid hurting the GOP nominee. On the other hand, as I noted yesterday, Slate also had the story prior to the election and chose not to publish it at the time.
As I suggested yesterday, the real issue here is whether or not Mrs. Trump believes this story. If she does, the president is in for a rough time at home whether or not Stormy Daniels is able to appear on TV and discuss this.
what do WE know?
More than we wanted to know
She loses any credibility when she claimed he wanted her on “The Apprentice”.
Trust me if Trump has carried on an extramarital affair for a year it would be impossible for it to be kept secret. Especially from Melania.
Did the magazine copy the name of the ministry? Or was it the other way around?
What matters is he’s a doing a great job as POTUS, even with all the crap trying to take him down.
Even if this is true, I don’t really care.
No kidding. Democrats and Republicans alike were turning every stone looking for dirt on Trump and we're supposed to believe that In Touch has just been sitting on this interview since 2011?
Yeah, sure...
You don’t know the new media game plan. Some obscure media publishes a ridiculous story. This gives cover to the main stream media to pick it up and report on it; not as an investigative story from them, but “we’re only reporting what this other group said”. That’s the new game. Remember how the “dossier” became public?
I call BS on this for the same reason I did with the (now confirmed as phony) golden showers story. No germaphobe would do either of these things. I figure he’d have her checked out, including “health”, before touching any part of her with any part of him.
A 5,500 word account by a prostitute.
About an "alleged affair".
What could go wrong? When does the credibility quotient kick-in?
Even if it were true, this woman is not alleging any sexual harassment, sexual abuse or rap, just an affair. This would have happened way before the #MeToo circus, where the democRATS are eating their own in a feeding frenzy.
Follow the democRAT playbook here. "It's his private life and and long as it doesn't affect his performance in the job as president, it's none of our business."
I'm referring to Horn Dog Billy Bob, of course. The media seemed not to want to check out any of his alleged dalliances because his "wife" stood by her cheatin' man. And he met the MSM requirements for not attacking him. He was a democRAT.
But seriously, I don't care about this kind of stuff. Some people might but I don't. It happened before he even announced as a candidate. Not for me to judge.
And I sure as heck didn't vote for Mr. Trump because he was a celibate man who didn't like women. He is an alpha male is every way.
I for one don’t care at all. I hope it’s not true for Melania’s sake but Donald Trump is not the man today he was in 2011, or whenever this is supposed to have happened.
In other news, Hillary gives birth to alien baby.
Well said.
not single at the time the alleged affair happened.
For the record, Dr. Charles Stanley, is one of the good preachers. He never asks for money. He never promises riches or an easy life on earth. He never preaches a worldly "name it and claim it" heretical gospel.
Dr. Stanley never wears the phony "preachers mask" or adapts the mannerisms of TV preachers. He just speaks plainly as a friend would speak to another friend. He just speaks the plain gospel.
I thought she slept with Roy Moore!
Yeah. When I saw “In Touch” in the title, Dr. Stanley was what came to my mind, too. Not even close, huh?
“TOTAL COINCIDENCE this comes out on the 20th anniversary of Drudge’s Monica Lewinsky scoop. It even alleges FoxNews “covered it up” as Drudge then accused of Newsweak.”
That’s a really good observation.
