Who is Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress testifying in Trump맥스카지노s hush money criminal trial?
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who is testifying Tuesday in former President Donald Trump맥스카지노s criminal trial in New York, is a key figure in the controversy over a 2016 맥스카지노hush money맥스카지노 payment allegedly made to Daniels on Trump맥스카지노s behalf.
Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to the repayment of his one-time attorney Michael Cohen for payments made shortly before the 2016 election to cover up Trump맥스카지노s alleged affair with Daniels. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied the affair.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims she had a one-night stand with Trump in 2006.
The controversy surfaced in January 2018, when reported on the $130,000 payment.
In 맥스카지노Stormy,맥스카지노 a documentary that was released in March, Daniels said that she agreed to accept the payment to protect her husband and daughter and so 맥스카지노that there would be a paper trail and money trail linking me to Donald Trump so that he could not have me killed.맥스카지노
맥스카지노I was completely sure that I was gonna die,맥스카지노 Daniels said in the documentary.
Prosecutors in New York have alleged that Trump sought to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election by suppressing negative information that would hurt his campaign. According to charging documents, Trump 맥스카지노repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.맥스카지노
A bid by Trump맥스카지노s attorneys to prevent Daniels and Cohen from taking the stand was denied by Judge Juan Merchan in March, and Daniels has said last year she was 맥스카지노absolutely맥스카지노 willing to do so.
Target of repeated threats
Daniels has been vocal about threats she맥스카지노s received since her alleged affair with Trump came to light. She told Piers Morgan in an interview last year that threats aimed at her from Trump supporters are now 맥스카지노way more specific and graphic,맥스카지노 and much more serious than they were in the past.
맥스카지노They맥스카지노re a lot more passionate 맥스카지노 I guess that맥스카지노s a good word. Enthusiastic with their threats. And they맥스카지노re not hiding. And they genuinely feel that they are doing something right. That they are the patriots,맥스카지노 Daniels said.
Daniels released a book, 맥스카지노Full Disclosure,맥스카지노 in 2018, detailing her alleged meeting with Trump at Lake Tahoe in 2006 in graphic detail and sharing narratives about her childhood and life.
She says she wrote the book because an earlier 맥스카지노60 Minutes맥스카지노 interview with Anderson Cooper 맥스카지노didn맥스카지노t cover the 맥스카지노why맥스카지노 of my decisions and the real, personal costs to me. 맥스카지노 For all I맥스카지노ve lost, I deserve the chance to defend myself and state all the facts.맥스카지노
During Daniels맥스카지노 interview with Cooper, she declined to discuss whether she had evidence of the affair and said that she was threatened to stay silent about it.
맥스카지노He knows I맥스카지노m telling the truth,맥스카지노 she said.
In her book, Daniels said Cohen threatened to sue shortly after an interview she did with the parent company of Life & Style and In Touch magazine in 2011. A few weeks later, she said, she was threatened in Las Vegas after attempting to sell her story of the alleged affair.
맥스카지노I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,맥스카지노 Daniels said. 맥스카지노And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 맥스카지노Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.맥스카지노 And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 맥스카지노That맥스카지노s a beautiful little girl. It맥스카지노d be a shame if something happened to her mom,맥스카지노 and then he was gone,맥스카지노 she said.
Trump dismissed a composite sketch of the man she alleged threatened her, calling it 맥스카지노a total con job맥스카지노 . Daniels then filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, alleging that he attempted to tarnish her reputation and credibility by dismissing her account. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit that October due to Trump맥스카지노s statement being protected under the First Amendment, and Daniels has been ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in court-ordered payments to Trump attorneys in the years since.
맥스카지노Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer맥스카지노,맥스카지노 Trump tweeted at the time.
Daniels맥스카지노 attorney at the time, Michael Avenatti 맥스카지노 who rose to fame representing Daniels in the wake of the hush money controversy 맥스카지노 said at the time that the details she provides in the book prove her story about having sex with Trump is true.
Avenatti and Daniels맥스카지노 relationship took a turn, however, after it was revealed that Avenatti stole nearly $300,000 from her. Daniels testified against her onetime ally, who was eventually convicted and sentenced to four years in prison.
Prosecutors said Avenatti, who helped negotiate the $800,000 advance for her book, stole money from the advance by fabricating a letter purportedly from Daniels redirecting payments from the book publisher to an account under Avenatti맥스카지노s control.
