CLOSE
Porn star Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sat down with Anderson Cooper in an interview about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump.
USA TODAY
Adult film actress and director Stormy Daniels appeared on CBS’ 60 Minutes Sunday night to talk about her alleged sexual affair with Donald Trump and a “hush agreement” she’s suing to get out of.
What did we learn? What was new? Let’s dig in:
She says was threatened in front of her baby
The biggest news was Daniels’ account of an incident in a parking lot in 2011 after she had agreed to tell her story about Trump to a sister publication of In Touch magazine for $15,000.
She said after the magazine called Trump to get his comment on her tale, Michael Cohen, Trump’s attorney, threatened to sue Daniels.
Then, a few weeks later, Daniels said she was threatened by a man who approached her in Las Vegas.
“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. Taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, gettin’ all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.'”
Then, Daniels said, “the man 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.'”

She says she wasn’t turned on
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she didn’t find the future president particularly attractive.
Anderson Cooper, pointing out the age difference between the porn star and the real estate tycoon, asked: “You were 27, he was 60. Were you physically attracted to him?”
She replied, “No.”
Cooper responded, “Not at all?”
Daniels again replied: “No.”

Michael Cohen, an attorney for Donald Trump, arrives in Trump Tower in New York on Dec. 16, 2016. Stormy Daniels, the porn star whom President Donald Trump’s personal attorney acknowledged paying $130,000 just before Election Day, believes she is now free to discuss her alleged sexual encounter with Trump, her manager xtold The Associated Press Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2018. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, believes that Cohen invalidated a non-disclosure agreement after two news stories: One, in which Cohen told The New York Times that he made the six-figure payment with his personal funds, and another in the Daily Beast, which reported that Cohen was shopping a book proposal that would touch on Daniels’ story, said the manager, Gina Rodriguez.

Stormy Daniels isn’t saying #MeToo
Daniels told Cooper that even though she wasn’t attracted to Trump, “IÂ didn’t say no. I’m not a victim.”
So it was consensual sex, Anderson Cooper asked.
“Oh, yes, yes.” Daniels said.
The alleged spanking wasn’t like that
The porn actress told Cooper she wasn’t impressed with Trump’s come-on patter, which allegedly included him bragging about his photo being on the cover of a magazine.
“Right, right. And so I was like, ‘Does this … does this normally work for you?’ And he looked very taken … taken back, like, he didn’t really understand what I was saying. Like, I was .. ‘Does, just, you know, talking about yourself normally work?’ And I was like, ‘Someone should take that magazine and spank you with it.’ (She laughs.) “And I’ll never forget the look on his face.”
Daniels told Cooper she didn’t think Trump was used to being talked to so brazenly.
She said she told Trump to give her the magazine.
“And I just remember him going, ‘You wouldn’t.'”
But she claimed she told Trump, “Hand it over.”
“And, so he did, and I was like, ‘Turn around, drop ’em.'”
Cooper repeated to confirm, “You, you told Donald Trump to turn around and take off his pants.”
Yes, she replied, and said, the future president “turned around and pulled his pants down a little — you know had underwear on and stuff, and I just gave him a couple swats.”
She says it was the only time
For the first time Daniels said she and Trump had sex just one time, and they didn’t use a condom.
Did he want to have sex again, perhaps at a meeting Daniels described that allegedly took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Cooper asked.
Yes, she said.
“How do you know he wanted to?” Cooper asked.
“Because he came and sat next to me and, you know, touched my hair, and put his hand on my leg, and referenced back to how great it was the last time,” she said.
