As President Donald J Trump’s first State of the Union address started, adult film star “Stormy Daniels” released a stunning new statement. This is also just hours before her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” tonight.
What she said is turning heads: “Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago.”
Daniels added, “The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. I am not denying the affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.”
She also is asking for people to follower her on Instagram.
Stormy Daniels (going on Kimmel tonight after Trump's State of the Union) issues a new statement saying she is denying having an affair with Trump not because of a settlement but because “it never happened.”
She would also like you to follow her on Instagram.

This contradicts a Wall Street Journal report that claims Daniels supposedly received $130,000 just before the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence on the alleged affair. But she and President Trump both deny this rumor.
This new announcement just spoiled Jimmy Kimmel’s fun:

Clearly, Daniels is seeking attention with this stunt but is making it clear that the allegations are false. This is reaffirming a letter Daniels appears to have signed, which is a statement saying that any rumors of a romantic involvement between her and the Trump are false.
But these statements also contradicted in an interview she gave with InTouch magazine, in which she claims she actually had an extramarital affair with Trump, years before his presidential campaign.
As President Trump told Fox News:
“These rumors have circulated time and again since 2011. President Trump once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms.Daniels.”
Stormy Daniels’s real name is Stephanie Clifford.
