Trump ‘knew of bid to pay off porn star’

CLAIM Trump and son Eric DONALD TRUMP ordered a porn star to be silenced over their alleged affair despite saying he knew nothing, it has been claimed.

The President is alleged to have instructed his then-lawyer Michael Cohen and his son Eric in February, says the Wall Street Journal.

This contradicts Trump who said he did not know of a £100,000 pay-off until after it was agreed.

Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, ignored the restraining order and was interviewed.

She told CBS she had sex in 2006 after they met at a golf tournament in Nevada. The President denies her claim.

Lawyers for the president and Cohen have declined to comment.
