Inside Washington: Porn Storm
A Commentary By Amy Holmes
If only it was as easy to expel American porn stars as Russian spies.
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels is finally telling what her Los Angeles lawyer and former Democratic operative calls her “righteous” story.
The adult film actress appeared on CBS "60 Minutes" to clear her good name and divulge intimate details of her alleged one-night stand with Donald Trump in a Lake Tahoe, Nevada hotel suite 12 years ago.
The star of such onanistic offerings as “Nymphos,” “Trailer Trash Nurses 6,” and “Sexbots: Programmed for Pleasure” claims that, despite her lack of attraction to the billionaire real estate mogul, the then-27-year-old succumbed to the 60-year-old’s wiles:
“I was like, ‘Ugh, here we go. (LAUGH)…You put yourself in a bad situation and bad things happen, so you deserve this.’”
Intrepid "60 Minutes" journalist, Anderson Cooper, pointed out that Daniels had accepted $130,000 in return for her discretion and any correspondence she may have kept.
She also previously repeatedly denied a sexual relationship with Trump.
Those denials, she claimed, were made under pressure, including a threat made to her in 2011 by a mysterious man in a Las Vegas parking lot.
Among Daniels' revelations: Trump is mesmerized by shark documentaries.
He allegedly takes delight in having his bottom spanked with a rolled up copy of a Forbes magazine featuring his picture on its cover.
And, according to Daniels, the father of five does not insist on condoms — nor does she in her private capacity.
The White House categorically denies Daniels' allegations.
Her lawyer promises that she is prepared to expose details of the president’s anatomy.
The "60 Minutes" Daniels' interview was the show's highest rated episode in a decade.
