Stormy Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, is expected to testify in the criminal trial against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday. She is one of two women the prosecution is alleging Trump paid off to protect his electoral prospects the first time he ran for the White House.
Daniels is an adult film actor who received a $130,000 payment from Trump's then-personal attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 as Trump was first running for president. Daniel's has said that she had an affair with Trump after he married Melania and just after the birth of his youngest son, Barron.
In 2018 Cohen pleaded guilty to federal charges of violating campaign finance law, 'at the direction of a candidate for federal office,' among other charges, and was sentenced to three years in federal prison. Daniels also tried to sue Trump in 2018 for defamation, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
