Porn star Stormy Daniels told In Touch Weekly six years ago that she had an affair with Donald Trump in an interview that has never been published until now.
Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — made it clear that the man known for “The Art of the Deal” was less than artful in the bedroom, according to the report.
“[The sex] was textbook generic,” Daniels told the publication. It “was nothing crazy. It was one position, what you would expect someone his age to do.”
The magazine said it was able to corroborate Daniels’ account with two different people. Daniels also passed a polygraph test, according to the report.
When TheWrap asked In Touch why they didn’t publish the article back in 2011, a spokeswoman for the magazine indicated Trump wasn’t a relevant enough public figure back then. “Donald Trump is clearly a more relevant public figure now than he was in 2011,” she said.
Earlier this week Fox News denied a CNN report that it shelved a story about a sexual relationship between the adult film actress and Trump before the 2016 election.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Daniels was paid $130,000 in hush money in October 2016. Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen stated that the adult film performer denied the accusations. But WSJ reporters were not able to verify that directly with Daniels.
In Touch told TheWrap the WSJ story inspired its reporters to surface their Stormy Daniels interview from seven years ago. “In Touch reporters who worked on the story originally brought In Touch’s 2011 interview with Stormy Daniels to our attention including the transcript, polygraph tests and other documentation,” she said.
According to In Touch, Daniels told the magazine she met the then-“Apprentice” host at a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada in 2006 — a year after Trump had married Melania and just a few months after the birth of their son, Barron.
According to Daniels, Trump invited her to his hotel room, where they had sex. She said that Trump also asked her to sign a copy of one of her X-rated movies.
Daniels said Trump told her he’d call her and, at one point, said: “We have to get you on ‘The Apprentice.’”
Daniels also said that the two met up a few more times after that, including once in his office at Trump Tower in 2007, another time at the Miss USA pageant that same year and once in his private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
Neither the White house nor Daniels responded to TheWrap’s requests for comment. But Trump’s lawyer once again told In Touch the president “vehemently” denies “any such occurrence, as has Ms. Daniels.”
