An adult-film star who was reportedly paid to remain silent about a sexual relationship with  Donald Trump  a decade before  he  became president spoke to a journalist because she feared he would not pay up  according to a new account.
"Daniels said she was talking to me and sharing these details because  Trump  was stalling on finalizing the confidentiality agreement and paying  her  " Weisberg wrote. "Given her experience with  Trump   she suspected he would stall her until after the election  and then refuse to sign or pay up."
Also on Tuesday  Alana Evans  another adult-film star  said in a television interview on "Megyn Kelly Today" that Clifford had called her to invite her to a hotel room with  Trump   who at the time was a reality television star.
Both accounts emerged four days after the Wall Street Journal reported that not long before the 2016 presidential election  Clifford was paid $130 000 by a lawyer for  Trump  to remain quiet about any relationship  she  had with the future president.
Cohen has dismissed "rumors [that] have circulated time and again since 2011" and said both  Trump  and Clifford "vehemently denies any such occurrence." Cohen also issued a statement he said was signed by Daniels  which describes rumors about her getting "hush money from  Donald Trump " as "completely false."
The Slate story adds another layer to the Journal report  which landed amid a furor over profane remarks  Trump  made during a meeting on immigration last week.
Clifford said she had met  Trump  at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006 â the year after he married Melania Trump  now the first lady â and they began a relationship that lasted for nearly a year  Weisberg wrote.
Weisberg continued that Clifford did not allege any abuse  saying only that  Trump  had made promises  he  would break  such as vowing to feature her on  his  "Apprentice" television show. To try and corroborate Clifford's account  Weisberg said he spoke to three of her friends  all of whom said they knew about the relationship and "confirmed the outlines of her story."
Clifford sought money for her story and was also motivated by "her anger about  Trump 's newfound opposition to abortion and gay marriage " Weisberg wrote. However  Clifford stopped responding to Slate a week before the election  and a friend said she had "taken the money from  Trump  after all " he wrote.
At that time   Trump 's history with women was a significant factor in the campaign. In October 2016  The Washington Post published a recording from 2005 that captured  Trump  bragging in graphic terms about groping women. A parade of women soon emerged to accuse  Trump  of sexual misconduct  charges that he denied during the campaign.
As the country has confronted a wave of sexual misconduct claims against high-profile men in recent months  the accusations against  Trump  flooded back into the news. Some of the women who had accused him had questioned why charges felled men like Harvey Weinstein while  Trump  was unscathed  and late last year  they made a renewed push for public attention. The White House had dismissed the allegations and said any questions were answered when  Trump  won the presidency.
One of  Trump 's accusers  a former "Apprentice" contestant  filed a defamation case against him due to his denials during the campaign. If a judge allows the case to proceed  attorneys could call other women to the stand to testify about their encounters with  Trump .
After the Journal's story reporting the settlement last week was published   Trump  and the White House assailed the publication for a different story  arguing that the newspaper deliberately misquoted one of his comments during an interview he gave to multiple reporters there. (The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp.  which is led by Rupert Murdoch  who speaks privately with  Trump .)
