The Wall Street Journal recently published a report that Michael Cohen, a Trump Organization lawyer at the time and now Trump's personal lawyer, paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about a sexual encounter with the President.
According to the Journal, Trump paid Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, a month before the presidential election as part of a nondisclosure agreement. This was also around the same time that the now-infamous Access Hollywood "grab them by the p***y" tape was released.
Clifford reportedly told sources interviewed by the Journal that she and Trump had a consensual sexual encounter in 2006, a year after marrying Melania, while in Lake Tahoe.
Michael Cohen denied the encounter happened when speaking to the Wall Street Journal, but he did not comment on the $130,000 payment. He also added, “This is now the second time that you are raising outlandish allegations against my client. You have attempted to perpetuate this false narrative for over a year; a narrative that has been consistently denied by all parties since at least 2011.”
