STORMY DANIELS, ADULT FILM STAR

Stephanie Clifford has been a well-known personality for more than two decades in the adult film business, appearing in and directing numerous videos as adult work.

Trump allegedly paid hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Stormy has porn job before, so she is a sex worker, that does not reflect well on the ex-president. According to her, she had sex with Trump in 2006. Trump's lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, who has since distanced himself from him, paid her hush money on Trump's behalf in 2016. It amounted to 130,000 dollars, which is the equivalent of around 122,000 euros. The money was intended to silence Daniels shortly before the presidential election - which is considered illegal in the US.

Trump and his lawyers have since acknowledged the payment, but deny that Trump had anything to do with the actress. But now Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is taking on the political heavyweight herself. The porn star is testifying against the ex-president before the New York prosecutor's office.

"At the request of the Manhattan District Attorney's office, Stormy Daniels and I met with prosecutors today," her attorney Clark Brewster tweeted. "Stormy responded to questions and agreed to make herself available as a witness or for further investigation if needed."

The porn actress had revealed all kinds of juicy details about the affair in the past. About Trump's best piece, for example. It looks "like the mushroom figure in Mario Kart", she writes in her book "In all honesty". She also spoke openly about it on the US late-night show with Jimmy Kimmel.
