Stormy Daniels speaks to Manhattan DA in Trump payment probe

Source: ABC News

Stormy Daniels met with prosecutors Wednesday at the request of the Manhattan district attorney's office, her attorney said in a tweet, as the office continues its ongoing criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's role in a hush money payment made to Daniels near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign.

"Stormy responded to questions and has agreed to make herself available as a witness, or for further inquiry if needed," her attorney, Clark Brewster, wrote in the tweet. Daniels met with prosecutors over Zoom, said a source familiar with the investigation.

A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to comment.

Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, paid $130,000 to Daniels in the closing days of the 2016 presidential campaign to allegedly keep her quiet about an affair she claimed to have had with Trump. The former president has denied the affair and his attorneys have framed the funds as an extortion payment.

Thing on Stephanie Miller this AM. Micheal Jackson and Bill Clinton both had to expose their juke as evidence for their trials. Imagine the horror for trump if he had to unveil his mushroom and all his cult saw how small of a man their idol is. 🥹😳😮🙄😵?💫🥵🤔

prosecutors on the staff of his predecessor developed and that he is facing a voter backlash if all Bragg will bring against tfg is a charge that will result in something that can be pled down t a misdemeanor. Why would he be talking to Stormy otherwise?

Like someone else said, there is SO much more incredibly important crimes... this is like the low end of the totem pole. Now, if T should be made to refute the charge of the small mushroom size of his member... that might make it more interesting... nah....

Q: bigger than a breadbox?
A: oh no, way smaller. It was like one of the toadstool 🍄 mushrooms you see in the woods.
Q: you are a porn star and porn director, how would you describe his performance?
A: extremely inadequate. In fact, about the worst I’ve ever encountered.
Q: was the $130,000 worth it?
A: No, I’ve spent more than that on lye soap, bleach, and other chemicals trying to get that stank off of my snatch.
