Stormy Daniels, the adult film actor who has been involved in a legal dispute with former President Donald Trump since 2018 over the affair she alleges they had in 2006, drops new bombshells about the scandal in this documentary.
She claims Trump, who has repeatedly denied ever having sex with Daniels, "cornered" her into sex in his Lake Tahoe hotel suite and that she signed an NDA in exchange for "hush money" in 2016, just before the election, in order to prevent Trump from having her killed for speaking out about their alleged affair.
That "hush money" agreement is at the center of the former president's pending criminal trial in Manhattan.
