Porn star and director drags former US president Donald Trump to court Stormy Daniels, (her real name is Stephanie Gregory Clifford), in an unprecedented case in the American political scene, which has caused the intense interest of the world public opinion, and the anger of the followers of the 76-year-old businessman who wants to become president again…

The case involves the payment of $130,000 to buy the porn star’s silence shortly before Trump’s election victory in November 2016 so that the extramarital affair they had had 10 years earlier would not be revealed.

Stormy Daniels’ first reaction

Commenting on the decision of the jury in New York to indict Trump, the 44-year-old commented strongly on Twitter that she would not want her “champagne to be spilled”.

“Thank you all for your support and love! I get so many messages that I can’t reply. I also don’t want my champagne to spill!”, said the porn star.

For his part, her lawyer, Clark Brewster emphasized that “no one is above the law.”

“The indictment against Donald Trump does not cause joy. The hard work and conscientiousness of jurors must be respected. Now let truth and justice prevail. No one is above the law,” he stressed.

Who is Stormy Daniels?

Stormy Daniels was born in 1979 in Louisiana. Her parents divorced three or four years after she was born. She had her first experience as a stripper at the age of 17, when she visited a friend in a strip club and was persuaded to appear as a guest star. She started working professionally at the Gold Club in Baton Rouge, the capital of her hometown, Louisiana, in 2000.

She chose her stage name because of her admiration for the band Mötley Crüe, whose bassist, Nicky Six, had named his daughter Storm. Stormi chose “Daniels” as her stage name after seeing an advertisement for Jack Daniels whiskey with the slogan “Southern Favorite”.

In 2002 she premiered as a porn star with lesbian scenes, and over the years she has been nominated several times for industry awards for hard sex films. An award-winning adult film director, she appeared in the pole dancing video for Maroon 5’s “Wake Up Call” and in the film “40 Years Old” where her star Steve Carell sees Stormi in a movie and imagines it.

She has been married four times to fellow actors in the porn film industry and has a daughter with one of them, who is now 12 years old. Last year she married her fourth husband, colleague Barrett Blade.

Stormy loves horses, she owns several horses and has won awards in equestrian competitions.

The “peppery” revelations about Trump

During an interview broadcast by the American television network CBS in 2018, she said that in the summer of 2006 she had sex without a condom with Trump during a charity event, and that she received threats against her physical integrity when she wanted to speak about the her relationship with him, a few days before the presidential election, which the then Republican president won.

“I had sex with Trump without a condom at a golf tournament in 2006,” Stormi told the CBS reporter.

When asked by the reporter if she was attracted to the president at the time, given that she was then 27 and Trump was 60, she replied: “Not at all”. In exchange for “services” she offered him, Trump allegedly promised her a spot on the TV show “The Celebrity Apprentice,” where he was then a host, a promise he didn’t keep.

Stormi had said that as part of their flirtation she had gently tapped Donald Trump on the behind with an issue of Forbes magazine.

“I’m not a victim,” she said categorically in her interview with CBS, and clarified that their relationship was consensual. He has since mocked Trump by sarcastically calling him a “little girl,” an unflattering reference to his anatomy.

Daniels seriously considered asking running for a seat in the Senate of the USA in his native Louisiana in 2010.

Michael Cohen: Trump’s lawyer who “burned him”

Trump’s former lawyer and close associate played a “key” role in the high-profile case, Michael Cohen. Cohen was the one who paid off Daniels in 2016. After pleading guilty and serving his prison sentence, he has been cooperating with the investigation since late 2018 and has repeatedly come forward to testify before grand juries. Cohen has set out to expose the actions of Trump that he once covered up.

Cohen’s change from trusted partner to adversary—a 180-degree turn—turned his life upside down.
