Adult-film actress Stormy Daniels said she decided to speak publicly about her alleged affair with President Trump because she felt the need to defend herself and her family from legal and public scrutiny.
In an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” aired on Sunday night, Daniels said she felt compelled to set the record straight after a Wall Street Journal article revealed she had been paid $130,000 by Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen, reportedly to keep quiet about the alleged affair.
She denied being one of the anonymous sources quoted in that article, but said once it had been published she was pressured into signing statements authored by Cohen denying the alleged affair.
“I didn’t wanna take away from the legitimate and legal, I’d like to point out, career that I’ve worked very hard to establish,” Daniels said. “And most importantly, I did not want my family and my child exposed to all the things that she’s being exposed to right now.”
“Everything that I was afraid of coming out has come out anyway,” she added.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a lawsuit earlier this month seeking to void the nondisclosure agreement, which her lawyer claims is invalid because it was never signed by Trump himself.
