Stormy Daniels kept a Monica Lewinsky dress from alleged hotel tryst with Trump, she claims – and plans to test it for DNA

*Porn star Stormy Daniels has claimed she had an affair with Donald Trump
*She says she kept a sparkly gold dress from the night of her alleged encounter, the Blast reported
*Stephanie Clifford - her real name - plans forensic tests for DNA
*The Wall Street Journal reported on January 12 that Cohen had paid money to Daniels, who has said she had sexual relations with Trump starting in 2006
*Daniels' lawyers maintain Cohen has breached the gag agreement
*Daniels' lawyers are arguing that Cohen's admission that he paid the $130,000 in hush money out of his pocket is a violation
*Cohen says he was required to respond to requests by the Federal Election Commission
*A campaign finance group argues the payment could be a violation of campaign finance laws
*The contract between Daniels and Cohen called for the parties to keep the deal secret, along with binding them to not speak of Daniels' alleged affair
*Before yesterday Cohen wouldn't deny the existence of the payment, though he told reporters that Trump had denied the affair

Stormy Daniels may have more than just her words from a 2011 interview to back up past claims of an affair with Donald Trump – she has kept a gold dress from the night of the alleged encounter, according to a report.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, kept the garment from her 2006 rendezvous with then-real estate developer and entertainment figure Donald Trump, the Blast reported.

Sources told the publication the sparkly dress has been kept in pristine condition since Daniels said she partied with Trump in a hotel room in Lake Tahoe.

Now that her attorney says Trump's longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen has violated a nondisclosure agreement between them, Daniels believes she is now free to talk about her involvement with Trump, her lawyer says.

She also revealed that, through an intermediary, Trump had offered her money to stay silent.

A pal of Daniels' later told the Slate writer, after Daniels stopped answering his messages, that she had taken the sum.

This could help us in 2018.

the shocking aspect is the double standard by which previous presidents would have been pilloried whereas dump seems to just get a pass, or "mulligan", for far more egregious conduct.

maybe a little hypocrisy awareness.....

for one thing it will be very hard for all those talk radio gods to excuse it - they will definitely sound hypocritical if they ever try to excuse it. they may all just ignore it but they might just say "well, if it's okay for clinton why not for trump?"

They should have paid that woman a hell of a lot more than 130K. She’s going to make millions off her affair with Donald Trump now and every sordid detail will be spilled.

They’d need a sample from Trump and that’s not going to happen.

This is just the initial stages of her PR campaign for her new book. She’s aiming for a bestseller.

You think this matters at all to his fan club?

You might as well have pictures of the little orange dictator standing in the background bare naked while Russian ladies and Purin himself are urinating on the bed the Obama’s slept in. These idiots don’t care. “I could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and my supporters would still vote for me.” Probably the only honest thing I can remember that this pig has spouted since he came down that elevator in tRumpf Tower with his trophy bride #3.

None of this matters. Melania the model has been humiliated her whole adult life with this pompous pig. A story about her unscrupulous pig of a sugar daddy means nothing. She already knows she is worthless and expendable to him if she should ever complain.

His supporters are morally bankrupt and deplorables as well. None of this means anything to them.

I thought that Daniels had an actual dress of Lewinski's

Not really surprised though since it's from the Daily Hate Mail.

Either way, I hope it sinks the Dotard.
