Former US President Donald Trump compared adult film actress Stormy Daniels to his daughter before cornering her in his hotel room in 2006. cnn reported.
In her documentary “Stormy,” which premiered Monday on Peacock, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, revealed to director Sarah Gibson how Trump compared her to his eldest daughter Ivanka before having a one-night stand with her. .
“He told me I reminded him of his daughter,” Daniels tells Gibson in his documentary.
“I felt like he was being sympathetic to me. Ivanka is beautiful and she's blonde and I'm sure people have assumed she's an idiot. But I felt like this father figure who's seen his daughter treated a certain way might not relate to me. .
“I thought we had mutual respect and that's why I was so crazy when, without any red flags in conversation, I walked out of the bathroom and found myself cornered.”
Daniels said she agreed to a $130,000 silence payment just before the 2016 presidential election to prevent her one-night stand with Trump from becoming public, so “there would be a paper trail and a money trail linking me.” with Donald Trump so that I couldn't get myself killed.
The documentary offers an inside look at Daniels' life after the public revelation of the 2018 hush payment that landed Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, in federal prison for campaign finance violations.
The 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate was later charged with falsifying business records and covering up repayment for influencing the election.
Trump's lawyers argue that the release of the documentary should be grounds to dismiss the indictment or delay the trial since it comes a week before jury selection.
They claim that some of Daniels' statements, including threats of violence, would be damaging to Trump and blamed prosecutors for not telling them about the documentary.
