'''Stephanie Gregory Clifford''', known as '''Stormy Daniels''' (born March 17, 1979), is an [[Americans|American]] [[Pornography|pornographic]] actress, screenwriter, and director. In 2018, she came forward with details of an alleged sexual relationship between 2006 and 2007 with later [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]].
In 2009, Clifford had considered challenging the second term bid of [[Republican Party|Republican]] former [[U.S. Senator]] [[David Vitter]] in her native [[Louisiana]]. She was soon nabbed for domestic violence against her second husband, Michael "Mike" Mozbor, which allegedly stemmed from a dispute about the household laundry at their then residence in [[Tampa]], [[Florida]]. She was booked for having struck Mozbor on the head several times with her own hands. Daniels used the slogan "Stormy Daniels: Screwing People Honestly," a reference to Vitter's admission and apology for having patronized a [[prostitution]] ring. <ref name=sgun>{{cite web |url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0729093stormy1.html |title=Stormy Relationship |accessdate=October 18, 2009 |date=July 29, 2009 |publisher=''The Smoking Gun''}}</ref> However, Daniels never filed for the Senate, and Vitter won re-nomination over a Republican judge and then defeated the [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] [[Charlie Melancon]] in the [[general election]].However, in 2015, Vitter ran for [[governor]] of Louisiana and lost by a considerable margin to the Democrat [[John Bel Edwards]], who still holds that position. Vitter did not seek a third Senate term in 2016 and was succeeded by fellow Republican and former opponent [[John Neely Kennedy]].
Daniels claims that Trump through his [[attorney]], Michael Cohen, paid her $130,000 in hush money in October 2016, during the height of the presidential campaign, to keep the alleged affair private. Trump has repeatedly denied an affair with Daniels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/07/trump-stormy-daniels-payment-444133|title=White House on Stormy Daniels: Trump 'denied all these allegations'|author=Louis Nelson|date=March 7, 2018|publisher=Politico|access-date=March 14, 2018}}</ref> Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, claims that his client has been threatened with physical harm unless she kept her alleged affair with Trump private.<ref>{{cite web|author=Veronica Stracqualursi|title=Stormy Daniels' attorney claims she was physically threatened|url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/stormy-daniels-physical-threats-cnntv/index.html|accessdate=March 16, 2018|publisher=CNN|date=March 16, 2018}}</ref>
Meanwhile, the North Hollywood celebrity photographer [[Keith Munyan, Jr.]], whom Daniels calls her "dad", confirmed to the media that he had overheard at least seven telephone conversations between Daniels and Trump which involved the offer of a condominium in Florida and a possible appearance on Trump's former [[NBC]] television series, ''The Apprentice.'' "That man [Trump] can talk about nothing for hours," Munyan said.<ref name=sdaniels>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/14/politics/stormy-daniels-friend-keith-munyan/index.html|title=Stormy Daniels' friend: 'Trump would call all the time' during affair|publisher=[[CNN]]|date=March 14, 2018|author=Sara Sidner|accessdate=March 18, 2018}}</ref>
Munyan said that his connection to Daniels developed because both are Louisiana born; she is originally from [[Baton Rouge]]. Both enjoy [[horse]]s.<ref name=sdaniels/> Daniels is recognized as a nationally-ranked equestrian.<ref name=dailybeast/> Munyan, a [[homosexual]], said that Daniels, who is estranged from her parents, considers both he and his partner, John Dean Baralle (born October 29, 1960), to be "my dads."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/03/stormy-daniels-gay-daddy-listened-calls-trump-details-sad/|title=Stormy Daniels' gay 'daddy' listened in on her calls with Trump.

On March 25, 2018, [[CBS]] will air an interview with Daniels by [[Anderson Cooper]] on its popular ''[[60 Minutes]]'' public affairs series. The broadcast will apparently air though an arbitrator has reaffirmed the legitimacy of the 2016 nondisclosure agreement between Trump and Daniels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/15/business/media/stormy-daniels-60-minutes.html|title=Stormy Daneils Interview to Air on '60 Minutes' This Month|author=Matthew Haag|date=March 15, 2018|publisher=''[[The New York Times]]'|accessdate=March 20, 2018}}</ref> Daniels took a [[polygraph]] test in 2011 which reportedly confirms a 99 percent chance that she is truthful about the alleged affair with Trump in 2006, which she said involved unprotected sex.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/lie-detector-test-shows-stormy-daniels-truthful-about-trump-affair-n858281|title=Lie detector test shows Stormy Daniels truthful about Trump affair: In the opinion of the polygraph examiner, Daneils was truthful about having protected sex with Donald Trump in July 2006|author=Sarah Fitzpatrick and Tracy Conner| publisher=[[NBC]] Newdate=March 20, 2018|accessdate=March 20, 2018}}</ref>
