‘LOOK WHO’S CALLING’
Friend of Stormy Daniels corroborates her story, says she let him listen in on calls from Trump. ‘She thought it was so fun,’ he says.
WASHINGTON— A close friend of Stormy Daniels is confirming her affair with Donald Trump more than a decade ago — saying he listened in on their phone conversations — and defending her efforts to get out of the $130,000 (U.S.) hush agreement she made shortly before the 2016 election.
The account was given by Keith Munyan, a 56-year-old photographer who is among four people listed in the nondisclosure agreement as knowing about the alleged relationship. The agreement does not bar Munyan from speaking publicly about the matter.
In a telephone interview late Monday with the Washington Post, Munyan mostly corroborated details Daniels already revealed in a recently published interview she gave to In Touch magazine in 2011: that she and Trump met at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006; that he offered to get her on The Apprentice reality TV show; and that he also offered her a condominium in a proposed Trump Tower in Tampa. Munyan said Trump would call Daniels while he was working in a house he owned in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Valley Village, a house she rented between 2006 and 2008.
“She checked her phone and goes, ‘Look who’s calling,’” he said. “She thought it was so fun. She wanted to be on The Apprentice. Wouldn’t you?”
Munyan said Daniels placed the phone between her ear and his. He said he listened in like this on Trump’s calls six or seven times.
The three other people listed in the nondisclosure agreement as knowing about the relationship — Daniels’s manager Gina Rodriguez, ex-husband Mike Mosney and porn actress Jessica Drake — have not spoken publicly about the affair.
