Porn actress Stormy Daniels stopped just short of saying on television Tuesday night that she had sex with President Trump in the early days of his marriage to Melania Trump.
In an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Daniels said she did not authorize a signed statement under her name denying the affair, which was spread online Tuesday by several media outlets.
Kimmel read highlights from In Touch Weekly magazine’s transcript of a 2011 interview with Daniels, including graphic details of her having sex with Trump at a Lake Tahoe hotel. Kimmel asked Daniels whether any of it was true.
“Define true,” she responded.
When Kimmel got to the part about Trump asking her to sign a copy of one of her porn video discs, she joked, “Well, he does have good taste, I guess.”
The Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 12 that a Trump lawyer paid Daniels $130,000 right before the 2016 presidential election to stay silent about the reported tryst. The adult film star has kept a high profile since then, capitalizing on the publicity while dodging questions about the president.
On her Twitter feed, she uses an American flag to promote her “Making America Horny Again” tour, with strip-club dates scheduled around the country. Daniels was a star attraction at the Adult Video News Awards on Saturday in Las Vegas.
The marquee at Little Darlings, a Vegas strip club where she appeared, advertised the show with a sign flashing: “See the Mistress Live!” Inside, she let several men take pictures of themselves standing behind her with their hands on her bare breasts.
