Reportedly, Stormy Daniels, a porn star who alleges of having an affair with US President Donald Trump, has stated that as per media reports she was threatened in 2011 after attempting to sell her story to a magazine. On Sunday she made the remarks in her first extended television interview since the news of her alleged 2006 affair emerged.

In July 2007, Daniels said, “Trump asked me to meet privately at his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles to discuss a development regarding her possible appearance on Celebrity Apprentice.” According to Daniels, Trump called her the following month to say he had not been able to get her a spot on celebrity apprentice. She also stated that they never met again and only were intimate in that first meeting in 2006.

In May 2011, Daniels agreed to tell her story to a sister publication of In Touch magazine for $15,000. Two former employees of the magazine told a news agency that the story never ran because, after the magazine calledTrump seeking comment, his attorney Michael Cohen threatened to sue.

Daniels said she was never paid and also said that a few weeks later, she was threatened by a man who approached her in Las Vegas.

She also said, "I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter... And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story'. And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom.' And then he was gone.”

Daniels added, I never saw the man again but would be able to recognise that person. He was violating me non-disclosure agreement and risking a $1 million fine because it was very important to me to be able to defend myself.” Both Trump and the White House has denied the alleged affairs.
