Who is Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress testifying in Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s hush money criminal trial?
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who is testifying Tuesday in former President Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s criminal trial in New York, is a key figure in the controversy over a 2016 바카라 게임 웹사이트hush money바카라 게임 웹사이트 payment allegedly made to Daniels on Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트Stormy,바카라 게임 웹사이트 a documentary that was released in March, Daniels said that she agreed to accept the payment to protect her husband and daughter and so 바카라 게임 웹사이트that there would be a paper trail and money trail linking me to Donald Trump so that he could not have me killed.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트I was completely sure that I was gonna die,바카라 게임 웹사이트 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.바카라 게임 웹사이트
A bid by Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트absolutely바카라 게임 웹사이트 willing to do so.
Target of repeated threats
Daniels has been vocal about threats she바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트way more specific and graphic,바카라 게임 웹사이트 and much more serious than they were in the past.
바카라 게임 웹사이트They바카라 게임 웹사이트re a lot more passionate 바카라 게임 웹사이트 I guess that바카라 게임 웹사이트s a good word. Enthusiastic with their threats. And they바카라 게임 웹사이트re not hiding. And they genuinely feel that they are doing something right. That they are the patriots,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Daniels said.
Daniels released a book, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Full Disclosure,바카라 게임 웹사이트 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트60 Minutes바카라 게임 웹사이트 interview with Anderson Cooper 바카라 게임 웹사이트didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t cover the 바카라 게임 웹사이트why바카라 게임 웹사이트 of my decisions and the real, personal costs to me. 바카라 게임 웹사이트 For all I바카라 게임 웹사이트ve lost, I deserve the chance to defend myself and state all the facts.바카라 게임 웹사이트
During Daniels바카라 게임 웹사이트 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.
바카라 게임 웹사이트He knows I바카라 게임 웹사이트m telling the truth,바카라 게임 웹사이트 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.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Daniels said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트That바카라 게임 웹사이트s a beautiful little girl. It바카라 게임 웹사이트d be a shame if something happened to her mom,바카라 게임 웹사이트 and then he was gone,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
Trump dismissed a composite sketch of the man she alleged threatened her, calling it 바카라 게임 웹사이트a total con job바카라 게임 웹사이트 . 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 Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer바카라 게임 웹사이트,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump tweeted at the time.
Daniels바카라 게임 웹사이트 attorney at the time, Michael Avenatti 바카라 게임 웹사이트 who rose to fame representing Daniels in the wake of the hush money controversy 바카라 게임 웹사이트 said at the time that the details she provides in the book prove her story about having sex with Trump is true.
Avenatti and Daniels바카라 게임 웹사이트 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 Avenatti바카라 게임 웹사이트s control.
