STRIPPER’S ‘HUSH MONEY’ OVER TRUMP AFFAIR

DONALD Trump had his lawyer arrange a payment of $130,000 to a woman known as “Stormy Daniels” just a month before the 2016 election, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Ms Daniels (pictured), whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is a former adult film star who allegedly had a sexual encounter with Mr Trump. The newspaper claims the dalliance happened in 2006 after a Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament. Mr Trump married current wife Melania in 2005.

It is claimed Ms Daniels and Mr Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, arranged the $130,000 along with a non-disclosure agreement. “Rumours that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false,” Clifford said in a statement.

The White House would not comment on the claims.
