Who is Stormy Daniels?
By Priscilla DeGregory
Daniels is a key witness against Donald Trump as she claims the former prez had her paid off with $130,000 to keep her from going public in the run-up to the 2016 election about her claims she had a one-night stand with a married Trump in 2006.

Amid publicity tour, porn star Stormy Daniels denies having an affair with Trump
CNBC, Jan 31, 2018
Adult film star Stormy Daniels, in the midst of a publicity tour fueled by past allegations of a 2006 sexual relationship with a then-married Donald Trump, said in a statement on Tuesday the alleged affair never occurred.
Keith Davidson, a lawyer for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, confirmed the statement was authentic but didn’t offer any further details.
The statement came at a curious time for Clifford, who appeared after the president’s State of the Union address on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” In recent weeks she has changed production companies, given a television interview and promoted strip club appearances with a risque play on Trump’s “Make America Great Again,” campaign slogan.
[...]
In her statement Tuesday, Clifford said she wasn’t denying the affair because she was paid “hush money,” but rather “because it never happened.”
Neither Cohen nor Clifford have addressed whether she was paid $130,000, and if so why.
A publicist didn’t respond to questions about the statement Tuesday.
