She Alleges He Compared Her To His Daughter
[ranking: 1]
One of the details Stormy Daniels revealed may come as no surprise, as Donald Trump has boasted about the attractiveness of his daughter on several occasions. Daniels told Anderson Cooper that Trump compared her to Ivanka Trump:
He was like, "Wow, you - you are special. You remind me of my daughter." You know - he was like, "You're smart and beautiful, and a woman to be reckoned with, and I like you. I like you."
Former Playboy model Karen McDougal admitted something similar in a 2018 interview when she discussed an alleged 2006 sexual affair with Trump, saying, "I heard a lot about [Ivanka Trump]."
She Claims Her Life Was Threatened By Trump's Team
[ranking: 2]
In the evening's most shocking disclosure, Stormy Daniels claimed that Donald Trump's team threatened her with violence. After she gave an interview with In Touch magazine in 2011 about her alleged tryst with Trump, Trump's lawyer reportedly threatened to sue and killed the story. She was never paid for the interview. According to Daniels, days after the story was nixed, she was approached by a man in a Las Vegas parking lot while she was with her young daughter:
A guy walked up on me and said to me, "Leave Trump alone. Forget the story." And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, "That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom." And then he was gone.
When Anderson Cooper asked Daniels if this was a direct threat, she replied, "Absolutely."
She Says She Really Did Spank Donald Trump With A Magazine
[ranking: 3]
It's an image that is now burned into the minds of every American. In January 2018, Mother Jones reported that Stormy Daniels indicated that in 2006 she'd spanked Donald Trump, at his request, with a rolled-up Forbes magazine that featured him on the cover. As much as you'd surely like to rid yourself of this mental picture, Daniels claimed in her interview with Anderson Cooper that she really spanked him with a magazine displaying his picture on the cover.
In the interview, Daniels didn't say which magazine, but the cover of the October 2006 issue of Forbes features Trump between son Donald Trump Jr. and daughter Ivanka Trump.
According to Daniels, when Trump bragged about the cover and offered to show her the magazine, she told him, "Someone should take that magazine and spank you with it."
She told Cooper:
Stormy Daniels: I don't think anyone's ever spoken to him like that, especially, you know, a young woman who looked like me. And I said, you know, "Give me that," and I just remember him going, "You wouldn't." "Hand it over." And - so he did, and I was like, "Turn around, drop 'em."
Anderson Cooper: You - you told Donald Trump to turn around and take off his pants.
Stormy Daniels: Yes.
Anderson Cooper: And did he?
Stormy Daniels: Yes. So he turned around and pulled his pants down a little - you know had underwear on and stuff and I just gave him a couple swats.
She Claims He Didn't Wear A Condom
[ranking: 4]
Stormy Daniels said that during their encounter, Donald Trump did not wear a condom. In fact, the two never discussed using one, and Daniels never asked him to. Daniels told Anderson Cooper:
[Trump] said that it was great, he had a great evening, and it was nothing like he expected, that I really surprised him, that a lotta people must underestimate me - that he hoped that I would be willing to see him again.
Trump's Lawyers Threatened To Sue Her For $20 Million
[ranking: 5]
Donald Trump's legal team claimed Stormy Daniels racked up $20 million in payments for breaking the terms of a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement regarding the details of their encounters and threatened to move forward with a lawsuit. Trump's lawyer even said, "I might even take an extended vacation on her dime."
Daniels's attorney Michael Avenatti told Anderson Cooper:
There's no question [Trump's legal team is trying to intimidate Daniels]. You threaten someone - with a $20 million lawsuit, it's a thuggish tactic. It's no different than what happened in the parking lot in Las Vegas.
In September 2018, Trump's team backed off its threat, claiming they believed the NDA to be invalid.
She Faced A Potential $1 Million Fine Every Time She Spoke Out
[ranking: 6]
Stormy Daniels never made a secret of the fact that she signed a nondisclosure agreement more or less consenting to keep quiet about her encounters with Donald Trump. But the thing is, Trump never signed the nondisclosure agreement himself, so Daniels and her lawyer argued that the NDA was therefore invalid. As written, the NDA indicated she could have been fined $1 million every time she talked about the incident.
When Anderson Cooper asked her why she was taking such a huge risk by speaking out, she said it "was very important to me to be able to defend myself."
In September 2018, Trump's legal team acknowledged the NDA was invalid.
She Admits She Lied
[ranking: 7]
Stormy Daniels admitted in the 60 Minutes interview that she'd lied in the past about the apparent affair with Donald Trump. On more than one occasion, she publicly denied that such a rendezvous ever took place. In January 2018, she signed a statement that said her "involvement with Donald Trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more."
She told Anderson Cooper: "I felt intimidated and [...] honestly bullied. And I didn't know what to do. And so I signed it."
She Says He Had Her Watch A Shark Documentary With Him
[ranking: 8]
Stormy Daniels said in her 60 Minutes interview that Donald Trump had her watch a shark documentary with him during one encounter. "I remember arriving, and he was watching 'Shark Week,'" she said. "He made me sit and watch an entire documentary about shark attacks."
According to Daniels, they didn't have sex during that encounter, though he wanted to: "[H]e came and sat next to me and, you know, touched my hair, and put his hand on my leg, and referenced back to how great it was the last time."
She May Have Incriminating Photos Or Texts
[ranking: 9]
The nondisclosure agreement - which Donald Trump's legal team has since acknowledged to be invalid - required Stormy Daniels to hand over all "video images, still images, email messages, and text messages" involving Trump. When Anderson Cooper asked Daniels about it, she said, "I can't answer that right now. [...] My attorney has recommended that I don't discuss those things." So, Cooper asked her attorney, Michael Avenatti:
Anderson Cooper: You seem to be saying that she has some sort of text message, or video, or, or photographs. Or you could just be bluffing.
Michael Avenatti: You should ask some of the other people in my career when they've bet on me bluffing.
She Is Not A Victim
[ranking: 10]
One thing Stormy Daniels made abundantly clear during her 60 Minutes interview: She did not see herself as a victim, and she didn't want you to either. "This is not a 'Me Too.' I was not a victim," she declared. "I've never said I was a victim."
When Anderson Cooper asked her whether the alleged sexual encounter was consensual, she replied, "Oh, yes, yes."
