From his alleged tryst with porn star Stormy Daniels in 2006 to a grand jury investigation in New York, here’s what led to the possible indictment of former President Trump.
Seventeen years ago, a silk-pajama-clad Donald Trump, then 60, allegedly had three minutes of sex with 27-year-old porn star Stormy Daniels at a Lake Tahoe, Nev., golf tournament.
Trump showed Daniels a picture of his wife, Melania, and then 4-month-old son Barron — telling her the couple had “separate beds.”After they eat, she uses the restroom and comes out to find him sitting on the edge of the bed. “Come here,” Trump says, and the two start kissing before moving to full sex without a condom.
In summer, Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal takes her story of a lengthy affair with Trump to the National Enquirer. She takes the so-called “catch-and-kill” deal, brokered by David Pecker, American Media Inc.’s CEO and Trump friend, who works with Cohen to get the money back.This time, there is even more interest in doing a catch-and-kill deal, and magazine executives contact Cohen to ask for help containing it.
