ELECTION/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “The latest and perhaps juiciest Trump tell-all to land this year isn’t from a disgruntled former White House staffer or a deeply sourced investigative journalist. It’s by Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, the pornographic film star and unlikely feminist resistance hero, who has waged a legal battle over a nondisclosure agreement designed to prevent her from talking about a sexual relationship she claims she had with Donald Trump. On Wednesday [9-12-18], St. Martin’s Press announced that it will publish Ms. Clifford’s memoir, ‘Full Disclosure,’ (pun likely intended) this October, just before the midterm elections. In a news release, the publisher said Ms. Clifford will tell ‘her whole story for the first time,’ including how she came to be a successful actress and director in the adult film business, her alleged affair with Mr. Trump and ‘the events that led to the nondisclosure agreement and the behind-the-scenes attempts to intimidate her.’”
