Porn star Stormy Daniels released a composite sketch of a man Daniels said threatened her to keep quiet about a sexual relationship she claims she had with President Donald Trump a decade ago.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper last month that the unidentified man approached her in a parking lot outside of a fitness class she was attending with her infant daughter.
« A guy walked up on me and said to me: ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,' » Daniels told Cooper. « Then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl — it’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone. »
Daniels told « The View » on Tuesday that the man was well-dressed, « sort of handsome, » and that she initially assumed he was the husband of a woman attending a class at the facility. His face, she said, is seared into her memory.
« Nothing was alarming about the way he looked, at first, » Daniels said.
Daniels discussed her alleged affair with Trump in a 2011 interview with a sister publication of In Touch magazine. But after Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen threatened to sue the media company, it didn’t run the story, CBS reported.
Daniels said she was « rattled » by the man’s comments and « absolutely » took them as a direct threat. She said her hands were shaking as she went into her exercise class.
When asked why she didn’t report the man to the police, she said, « Because I was scared. »
Just ten days before the 2016 election, Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 through a Delaware-based entity he established to facilitate the transfer of what he says was his personal money.
