Trump lawyer arranged $130,000 payment for porn star's silence about alleged sexual encounter with president: Report
by Caitlin Yilek | Jan 12, 2018, 3:39 PM

A lawyer for President Trump reportedly arranged a $130,000 payment to a former porn star just weeks before the 2016 presidential election to stay quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump.

People familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that Trump’s longtime lawyer Michael Cohen arranged a payment to Stephanie Clifford in October 2016 during negotiations of a nondisclosure agreement.

Clifford, 38, has told people privately that she had a sexual encounter with Trump after they met in July 2006 in Lake Tahoe. Trump married his wife, Melania, in 2005.

The Wall Street Journal is running this story, also.
Actually, they are running a bit longer version.

I saw a Frankish person on another site state that must be some top shelf p****.  The general consensus elsewhere is that nobody gives a flip.  Who Trump is screwing or has screwed isn’t a concern as long as he’s screwing Ds and GOPe.  I pretty much agree since we already knew he cheated on his first wife and still voted for him.  Meh.   :shrug:

So Trump cheated on Melania after they were married.  But Trump's fans, who crowed about Slick Willie's sexual escapades, are strangely silent about their hero's. 

Sorry, guys, but I believe the President of the United States should be upstanding.  When we tolerate such sleaze from the people who are supposed to lead us and represent us, we send this country further toward the abyss.

Do not expect any sense of principle or perspective. Not in this, nor in anything else nowadays. The collective finger of doom points at whom it will, guided by a capricious wind and not principle.

Didn't you read this one? It is recycled from the Wall Street Journal with mystery people being the sources again.

More fake news from the fake media.

Typical lie I have grown accustom from the slack jawed Trump haters. Here is the statement from the person who is supposed to be payed off....

“Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false,” the statement said.

So she wasn't payed off. The story is a lie based again on unnamed sources. Dick Durban is one of the sources.

But does she deny that they had a sexual relationship?

Where did you get your information?  It's not in the Examiner story.

She denies it, but you’d except she would after the payoff.

I think Trump should sue her. He can't allow these types of lies to go on without consequences. Sue her and let the truth come out!

I have no idea if this story is true or not but there are some curious things about it. In all of these types of payoffs you usually are required to sign a document that prevents you from disclosing that you were paid off. Rose McGowan reportedly did such with Weinstein in 1997 and recently reneged on the agreement. No surprise there that Stormy would issue a denial. I would expect her to so I wouldn't put much weight on that letter.  It also is very strange that she would sign a statement using her stage name. Her legal name is Stephanie Clifford.

She supposedly was paid this money shortly before the election and she abruptly cancelled a tv appearance she was scheduled for about the same time. Was the payoff to prevent her from talking about this affair right before the election?  It has been alleged that the money was transferred to her through a trust account belonging to her attorney. It has also been reported that she had told friends about her affair with Trump. There is a photograph of her with Trump at a golf tournament but that means nothing. He has his picture taken with lots of people however he will most likely say that he has met her or even knows her.

It doesn’t quite meet the level of an affidavit, but unless Trump wanted to charge her with blackmail, I don’t think there’s anything criminal to the story.  Doubt he’d want to do that.

   It's 2018 and it involves Trump and a skinny Eastern European looking woman with big boobs, certainly seems plausible to me.    Had this come out in 2001 about GWB it would have been laughable.

There was also an alleged payoff of a former Playmate with whom he supposedly had an affair with in 2006.  Story from 2016......


National Enquirer Paid To Kill Story Of Playboy Model's Affair With Donald Trump: Report

A new report claims that owners of the tabloid newspaper National Enquirer paid a former Playboy model $150,000 in order to kill her story about an affair she had with Donald Trump.

Karen McDougal, the magazine’s Playmate of the Year for 1998, claimed to friends that she had a consensual romantic relationship with the 70-year-old businessman in 2006 — while he was married to his current wife Melania, according to the Wall Street Journal.
