The scandal of Donald Trump:Daniels allegedly had a sexual encounter with Donald Trump after a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in July 2006, a few months after Trump’s wife, Melania, gave birth to their son. Stormy denied the affair for a long time, but in February 2018, she filed a lawsuit against Trump, claiming he never signed the necessary documents to keep their arrangement private. As part of that lawsuit, it was revealed that Daniels was indeed paid $130,000 by Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney. In March 2018, Stormy offered to return the $130,000 so she could speak publicly about their alleged affair. In a 2018 “60 Minutes” interview,
Personal life: Stormy, who is bisexual, married adult film actor Pat Myne on August 29, 2003 and took the surname Clifford, which is Pat’s legal surname.

In July 2018, Daniels was arrested for allegedly groping patrons at Sirens Gentlemen’s Club in Columbus, Ohio, a state that has a “no touching” law for strip clubs. Because Stormy was not a regular Sirens performer, she was exempt from the law and the charges were dismissed, but she sued the police department for $2 million in January 2019 because she believed the arrest was politically motivated. The lead detective on the case was a supporter of Donald Trump, and it emerged that another detective involved in the arrest leaked videos and photos of Daniels, as well as information about where he had been playing, in his emails days before it emerged them at the Club. An internal investigation in March 2019 called the arrest improper, and a few months later, Acting Chief Tom Quinlan said the officers involved would be disciplined.
