Lawyer Trump paid porn star Stormy Daniels herself

washington - President Trumps lawyer Michael Cohen has paid $ 130,000 from his own pocket to porn star Stormy Daniels. The actress said before having had an affair with the president. The lawyer says that the payment was his own initiative, but it is not clear whether Trump was aware of it. The New York Times writes about it.

The woman, who is called Stephanie Clifford in daily life, claims that she had an affair with Trump just after the birth of Barron, the now eleven-year-old son he has with his wife Melania. Lawyer Cohen confirms for the first time rumors about the payment of the sum of money. According to him it is a 'private transaction', says that no one forced him but he did not want to say why he paid the money.

The president has previously denied that he had anything with the porn star. Stormy Daniels has never withdrawn her claim.
