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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes she does.  You’ll have to look for it though.  Saw the link at another site and I’m not going to go hunt it for you, especially since I don’t give a tinker’s damn if he did or didn’t.  Honestly, he could have a woman sex slave tied in a swing in the basement of Trump Tower and I wouldn’t give a damn as long as he doesn’t lie to a grand jury about it.

What do I care about?  He shot down that DACA Senate bill.  Much more important to the future of my grandkids.  But hey... let’s get our knickers in a twist over an old rumor that has been dragged out again to slander Trump.

The ones who cry "fake news" because an article cites unnamed sources will accept as gospel anything put out by Infowars, National Enquirer, Breitbart perhaps and other pro-Trump news outlets and blogs -- even though those items are perhaps less well sourced and perhaps even sketchier than those in the allegedly "fake" media.  Only news and comments favorable to Trump are acceptable.

Revisionist history.  I'd say it was the amorality as well as the lie.  The guy was a sleaze, and his actions were abhorrent to most people.  But Trump can be as sleazy as he wishes and it matters not to his supporters.  When his supporters tolerate such actions, what does that say about them?

There was a "big deal" well before the Impeachment issue and the lies to the Grand Jury.

A man who is a serial adulterer like Clinton, cannot be trusted on any important issue.

Anyone who says that adultery is the ultimate betrayal, doesn't really understand the nature and meaning of what betrayal is or can be. There are many, much, many, more levels than just that.

Nope.

It is a hideous betrayal of the most significant relationship among humans, and the person who does it on a serial basis cannot be trusted in anything of significance.

I said that about Clinton in the 90's and I'm saying it now.

Because it's TRUE.

The ones who cry "fake news" because an article cites unnamed sources will accept as gospel anything put out by Infowars, National Enquirer, Breitbart perhaps and other pro-Trump news outlets and blogs -- even though those items are perhaps less well sourced and perhaps even sketchier than those in the allegedly "fake" media.  Only news and comments favorable to Trump are acceptable.

@Applewood

Of course.  We see that here on a daily basis.   Any source favorable to Trump is trusted and any source that says anything bad about him is garbage.

(Even about his hair!   :silly:)

The sad thing is that they think we don't notice.

That’s an effing knee slapper.

Weathervane Donny has been all over the place in his public life.  For single payer, against Obamacare.  Mostly identified democrat, runs republican.   Very much pro-choice prior to his candidacy.  Donations to corrupt politicians to grease the wheels, wants to drain the swamp, tells challengers they’re on their own.

That’s just a small list.  You true believers are the ones being taken for a ride.

Your emotional investment is, by the record, in Trump.  And it's personal.

I did not support the man in the primaries, but did vote for him in the general because I cared more for my country than to not do my part to keep Hillary Clinton out of office.  As usual, you are out in left field.

As for the thread here making fun of Trump’s hair, it was remarkable reminiscent of the many old DU postings of Bushitler.  But whatever rings your bell.  ;)

His hair is dumb, and it's our right as Americans to laugh at him, with no bells being rung whatsoever.  Or perhaps freedom of speech and freedom of redress are not important to you?

At this point I don’t think we can say whether this is true or not.  Yes, it’s certainly right in line with the adulterous behavior Trump himself bragged about in one of his books.  Still, I’m not personally going to make a judgment right now.

But if it is true, it’s going to be really entertaining to see the people who extol Melania as the highest example of a good wife and mother (calm down, I like her) throw her under the bus.  “So he nailed a porn star after Melania had his son!  Big deal!”

It didn't take any particular brilliance to come to the conclusion that you were protecting the "honor" of your beloved President by accusing those participating in the humor as being DU types because of their lack of "respect."   It made me chuckle that you were offended by hair jokes.  (Sorta like Obama was offended by ear jokes....... right??)

btw, Trump's hair is funny.  A sense of humor is our friend.  ^-^

But the point that needs to be repeated here is that, whether or not this particular accusation is correct (who knows at this point?), Trump has admitted in print that he is a serial adulterer.

Serial adulterers are the ultimate betrayers of truth and decency, and can't be trusted.

He IS one.  By his own admission.

In retrospect, I did not.  I am pleased with the choice I made as PDJT has not proven to be what I thought he would be.  I am actually pleased with the vast majority of PDJT’s first year.  Until he pleases the “TruCons!” By going hard left, I will continue to support him.

Wouldn’t I be the hypocrite to be clutching my pearls on my fainting couch to hear he had an affair in 2006 when we all knew he had an affair with Marla Maples?  I knew I was not getting a saint when I went into that voting booth.  What the man does for the country is vastly more important to me.

For all we know he wanted a trophy wife and she wanted to live the life...Yeah, I know she wasn't poor, but she didn't have the amount of money he does. That may not be the case...but it's possible. So she may not care what he does. as long as he keeps it quiet.

I don’t think so.  I read/saw somewhere that he had to do some serious convincing to get her to even go out with him as she was leery.  But who really knows?  And after all we’ve had to deal with the previous eight years, does anybody truly care anymore?  I’m just grateful to have a First Lady that doesn’t have a penis.

By the precedent recently established in Alabama, the fact that someone is a Democrat activist apparently cannot be used to establish motive, nor discredit testimony, even based on altered documents which proved effall anyway, even in close proximity to an impending election.

"Fake but accurate" has been upgraded to 'just believe it because they want you to', and evidence otherwise (or refuted/tampered/proof of forgery) doesn't matter.

Funny thing I noticed about exotic dancers when I was dealing blackjack in a titty bar during a slow spell in the oil patch: While there were a few who strutted their stuff on the street (sometimes looking for 'dates'), most of the dancers left dressed in basic casual clothes, the sort that blended in so well, if I hadn't known them and what they did for a living, I would not have been able to sort them out of the crowd at the grocery store.

Any porn star who married money would never be able to live a normal life--the media microscope would ever be on that, the relationship (assuming it was a genuine personal and not just physical attraction) would never be able to shed that optic. Getting out of that limelight would require getting out of the limelight altogether. Anonymity would be the only chance to retire and live anything approaching a normal life afterwards.
