LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Porn star Stormy Daniels teased President Donald Trump Tuesday over their alleged tryst as it emerged she passed a 2011 lie detector test in which she claimed they had unprotected sex.
The polygraph results came to light as pressure mounted on the president, with an ex-Playboy model suing to be released from another non-disclosure agreement while a former reality star alleging sexual assault took him to court for defamation.
Daniels, who alleges the affair took place in 2006, took to Twitter to warn she was “not going anywhere” despite a legal battle to stop her speaking out, and referenced her sexual encounters with Trump.
“Technically I didn’t sleep with the POTUS 12 years ago. There was no sleeping (hehe) and he was just a goofy reality TV star,” she tweeted, accusing Trump of bullying her and breaking the law to cover up the affair.
Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, tweeted a picture of his client strapped to a chair taking the exam, with the hashtag #searchfortruth.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the lawyer paid $25,000 for the video of 39-year-old Daniels – real name Stephanie Clifford – answering questions as she was strapped to the polygraph.
A report on the test, commissioned as part of a 2011 interview published only recently by gossip magazine “In Touch,” says Daniels was being truthful when she said she had unprotected sex with Trump in July 2006.
