Washington: Porn actress Stormy Daniels said she was threatened in a bid to keep her silent about her alleged fling with Donald Trump, which she detailed in a primetime TV interview broadcast.
She is seeking to be released from a non-disclosure agreement she signed 11 days before the 2016 presidential election that brought Trump to power, for which she was paid $130,000 — leading to allegations that the payment amounted to an illicit contribution to his campaign.
Daniels on Sunday told Anderson Cooper on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that Trump had not asked her to keep their 2006 sexual encounter secret, but said she was approached by a man in a Las Vegas parking lot after agreeing to sell her story for $15,000 in 2011. Daniels said that fear also motivated her to sign the non-disclosure agreement 11 days before the election in 2016.
