'I have to see you again': How Trump's alleged affair with a porn star spilled into public view
By Frances Stead Sellers, Emma Brown and David A. Fahrenthold March 7 at 8:40 PM
Their first meeting was in Lake Tahoe, at a golf tournament in the summer of 2006. He invited her to dinner, she says. But when she got to his hotel room, it was clear he didnt plan to go out.
He was wearing pajama pants, Stormy Daniels told InTouch magazine in 2011, describing what she said was a consensual sexual encounter with Donald Trump five years before. Trump has denied it ever happened.
In Danielss description, this was an unremarkable hookup between two people in the outer orbits of Hollywood fame. Daniels was a star of adult movies. Trumps reality show, The Apprentice, was slumping. At this Lake Tahoe celebrity tournament, the organizers had given him only fifth billing, listing the real estate developer two spots below Ray Romano in their lineup of stars.
Now, that casual night and the connection it allegedly created between a future president and a porn star has altered the course of Danielss life and threatens to alter the course of Trumps presidency.
Days before the 2016 election, Daniels agreed to remain silent about the alleged encounter in exchange for a $130,000 payment arranged by Trumps longtime attorney Michael Cohen, according to a court filing.
