2016 ELECTION/WOMEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Former adult-movie star Stephanie Clifford said she accepted $130,000 in 2016 to keep silent about an alleged sexual encounter with now-President Donald Trump because she feared for her family’s safety. In a televised interview on ’60 Minutes’ that aired Sunday [3-25-18], Ms. Clifford said she was threatened by a man in 2011, after a failed attempt to sell her story about Mr. Trump to a magazine, as she went to a fitness class with her infant daughter….The interview marked the first time Ms. Clifford, 39 years old, has spoken publicly about what she said was a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump since The Wall Street Journal reported in January news of the nondisclosure agreement she reached with the president’s personal lawyer before the 2016 presidential election.”
