Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who says she maintained a relationship with Donald Trump

The scandal over the alleged relationship between US President Donald Trump and porn actress Stormy Daniels gives no respite to the White House.
The adult movie star sued Trump last week to invalidate a confidentiality agreement he signed in 2016 and for which he promised not to disclose details of the alleged affair.
In addition, the actress, whose real name is Stephanie Gregory Clifford, offered this Monday to return the US $ 130,000 she received from the personal lawyer of the president, Michael Cohen, in order to terminate the agreement and be able to speak freely about what happened.

However, no one yet knows for sure what would be the real implications that could have for the president the revelations of the actress, which according to the White House are false.
But why is this story important? What is currently known about what supposedly happened?

1. Who is Stormy Daniels?
   Clifford was born in Louisiana in 1979 and began first in the adult film industry as an actress and then, in 2004, director and screenwriter.

   Sotrmy Daniels is an actress, screenwriter and producer of adult films in the United States.
   His stage name, Stormy Daniels, comes from bassist Mötley Crüe, Storm, and American whiskey Jack Daniels.
   It is said that he chose the latter after reading an advertisement that said the drink was "one of the favorites in the south" of the United States.
   The actress had some roles and small appearances in other films such as "Virgin at 40", "Slightly pregnant" and in the music video for the song Wake Up Call, by Maroon Five.
   He also thought about running for a seat in the Senate for Louisiana in 2010, but suspended his campaign after considering that his candidacy was not taken seriously.
2. What is your argument?
   It all goes back to July 2006, when the White House was just an aspiration for Trump.
   Daniels says he met him at that time at a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, a tourist area between California and Nevada.
   In a 2011 interview with In Touch Weekly she said that Trump invited her to dinner and that she went to meet him in her hotel room.

   The meeting would have taken place in Lake Tahoe, a tourist area between California and Nevada.
   "I was lying on the couch, watching TV or something, wearing pajama pants," he recalled.
   Daniels alleges that they both had sex, although Trump's lawyer "vehemently denies" this.
   If Daniels's story is true, the relationship took place only four months after the birth of Trump's youngest son, Barron.
   The actress alleges that Trump suggested that he could take her to his television show The Apprentice and that they were in contact until 2010.
3. When was the event known?
   Rumors about the matter began to appear before the presidential elections of November 2016.

   The actress decided to sue President Trump with the idea of ​​breaking the confidentiality agreement signed in 2016.
   The Wall Street Journal reported just days before the vote that Daniels had been in talks with ABC's "Good Morning America" ​​to tell all about the alleged adventure, before abruptly cutting off negotiations.
4. Why is history news now?
   It has been a story that has grown over time.
   In January, the Wall Street Journal published an article filtering the payment made by the lawyer.
   "These are old and recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied before the elections," said a White House official at the time.
   The lawyer also denied that the relationship had existed.

   Attorney Michael Cohen says the agreement with the actress was paid out of pocket.
   But last February he acknowledged that he had paid the sum to Daniels, although he said that neither the Trump campaign nor the Trump Foundation knew anything about the payment, which was made out of his own pocket.
   Last week, the actress announced that she was suing Trump, on the grounds that the president had not signed the confidentiality agreement.
   The next day, reports were published indicating that the president had obtained a restraining order against Daniels last February.
   The order, won in private arbitration proceedings, reportedly prevented the actress from sharing "confidential information" about her alleged relationship.
