Stormy Daniels featured prominently in a Manhattan grand jury’s investigation of Donald Trump. The star said they had a encounter in 2006, a year after he married his current wife Melania and more than a decade before the businessman-turned-politician became U.S. president. At the center of the story is $130,000 in hush money she was paid on the eve of his 2016 election. Trump, facing charges in a Manhattan court, has denied a relationship. He says the payment was made to stop her “false and extortionist accusations.”
