- President Donald Trump's personal lawyer
brokered a $US130,000 ($A182,000) payment to
a porn star to prevent her from publicly
discussing an alleged sexual encounter with
Trump, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Trump met Stephanie Clifford, whose goes by
the name Stormy Daniels in films, at a golf
event in 2006 - a year after Trump's
marriage to his wife, Melania.
According to the Journal's report, Clifford
began talking with ABC News in the fall of
2016 for a story involving an alleged
relationship with Trump, but reached a
$130,000 deal a month before the election,
which prevented her from going public.
Trump's longtime attorney Michael Cohen
arranged for the payment through Clifford's
lawyer, Keith Davidson, the Journal
reported.
In a statement to the Journal, Cohen did not
address his role in negotiating the supposed
payment but said Trump denies any such
relationship with Clifford. Clifford has
previously denied an alleged relationship
with Trump.

On Friday afternoon, the White House issued a statement calling the Journal's story "old, recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied prior to the election".
Cohen
also accused the Journal of perpetuating "a
false narrative for over a year".
Just days before the 2016 election, the
Journal published a story stating that the
National Enquirer - run by David Pecker, a
fervid supporter of Trump - had paid
$US150,000 to silence former Playboy
Playmate Karen McDougal about a sexual
relationship she allegedly had with Trump a
decade ago.
