The person we have to thank for the Michael Cohen plea story − the impresario of the entire stunning production − is Stephanie Clifford, the adult film actor known as Stormy Daniels.
Hers is a quintessentially American story. She’s the outsider, the object of disdain, the kid from the wrong side of the tracks, the star without the veneer of refinement − and the player in this drama who’s winning because she’s the one telling the truth. In the face of withering personal attacks from men at the highest levels of government, Stormy refused to back down. Because she knew she was right.
It’s no surprise that so many people are rooting for her.

On Tuesday, Cohen admitted to not just tax and bank fraud but campaign finance violations. More than that, President Donald Trump’s longtime consigliere said he committed the campaign-related crimes at the direction of his boss. But Clifford’s lawsuits helped alert prosecutors early on to the facts underlying some of Cohen’s misdeeds, to say nothing of the president’s.
Just before the 2016 presidential election, Cohen arranged for a $130,000 payment to Clifford so that she would not reveal her affair with Trump. At the time of this alleged affair, Trump’s wife Melania had recently given birth to the couple’s son Barron. There were big penalties if Clifford breached the agreement. Yet when news of the deal broke at the beginning of this year, she decided to go on the offensive.
Her lawyer − Los Angeles litigator Michael Avenatti, who has a chiseled face and a flair for promotion and whose hobby is driving race cars − accused both Michael Cohen and Trump of defamation. He has proved more than a match for Trump at trolling his opponents.

Clifford and Avenatti launched three − count ‘em, three − lawsuits against Cohen and Trump: claiming that the agreement wasn’t valid, that Cohen and Trump had intimidated her into signing it and that they were lying when they denied her tryst with Trump.
Avenatti also launched a massive publicity campaign against Cohen and Trump. You simply could not turn on a TV news show without seeing Avenatti at the table. The campaign got under Cohen’s skin so effectively that he actually went to court to try to get a restraining order to “stop the media circus.” Avenatti, for his part, predicted on TV that Cohen would eventually turn on Trump.
And Avenatti was right: Cohen has definitely turned on Trump, While the Cohen plea’s legal implications for the president aren’t yet clear, the combination of the plea with the conviction on the same afternoon of Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was what the Drudge Report called “Trump Hell Hour."

Stormy Daniels
Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford[1]
March 17, 1979 (age 39)[2]
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.
Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford[1][4] (born March 17, 1979),[2] known professionally as Stormy Daniels, Stormy Waters, or simply Stormy, is an American pornographic actress, stripper, screenwriter,[5] and director. She has won numerous industry awards, and is a member of the NightMoves, AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.[6][7][8] In 2009, a recruitment effort led her to consider challenging incumbent David Vitter for the 2010 Senate election in her native Louisiana.[9]
In 2018, Daniels became involved in a legal dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen. Trump and his surrogates allegedy paid hush money to silence Daniels about an affair she claims she had with Trump in 2006. Trump's spokespersons have denied the affair and accused Daniels of lying.[10][11]
Career
During high school, Gregory had a job answering phones at a riding stable.[13] Gregory's first experience as a stripper occurred when she was 17 and visiting a friend at a strip club; she was convinced to perform a "guest set."[13] She began stripping for money at the Gold Club in Baton Rouge[13][15] and became a featured entertainer with Continental Theatrical Agency in September 2000.[16] She chose her stage name Stormy Daniels to reflect her love of Mötley Crüe, whose bassist, Nikki Sixx, named his daughter Storm.[17] She is from Louisiana and chose the last name "Daniels" after seeing a Jack Daniel's advertisement that read "a Southern favorite".[18]
While working as a featured entertainer, Daniels met Devon Michaels, who was doing lesbian scenes in a pair of upcoming films – one for Wicked Pictures and one for Sin City – and Michaels invited Daniels to accompany her.[19] Daniels accompanied Michaels to her Wicked shoot, where she met Brad Armstrong and co-starred with Michaels in her Sin City scene, American Girls Part 2. Afterwards, Armstrong invited Daniels to stay with him[19] and she continued doing lesbian-only scenes.
In July 2002, Daniels was cast as the lead in a feature film for Wicked Pictures, Heat, where she did her first lesbian scene. In September that year, she signed an exclusive contract with Wicked.[19] In 2004, she won the Best New Starlet Award from Adult Video News, which was a complete surprise to Daniels, as she was so sure Jesse Jane would win she made a $500 bet with another porn starlet.[20] She has directed for Wicked since 2004.[21]
Daniels was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame on January 18, 2014,[7] and was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame on April 16, 2014.[8] Her directorial work that year earned fourteen AVN Award nominations including a nomination for Best Safe Sex Scene for her performance with Brendon Miller in François Clousot's First Crush.[7]
In 2018, Daniels toured strip clubs as part of a "Make America Horny Again" tour.[22][23][24] She was given the key to the city of West Hollywood, California, on "Stormy Daniels Day", May 23, 2018.[25] Daniels was named to host the 2019 XBIZ Awards.[26]
Early life
Stephanie Gregory was born on March 17, 1979,[1] to Sheila and Bill Gregory, who divorced about 3 or 4 years later. Gregory was subsequently raised by her mother.[12][13]
She graduated from Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge in 1997[13] and considered becoming a journalist.[13]
Gregory said she "came from an average, lower-income household… there [were] days without electricity",[14] and she has described herself as coming from a "really bad neighborhood."[13]
Legal affairs
Trump affair allegations
Main article: Stormy Daniels–Donald Trump scandal
On January 12, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels $130,000 in hush money in October 2016−shortly before the presidential election−to deny that she had an affair with Trump a decade earlier in 2006.[51][52] On behalf of his client, Cohen denied the existence of an affair between Trump and Daniels,[53] but he later stated: "In a private transaction in 2016, I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford."[54]
On March 6, 2018, Daniels filed a lawsuit against Trump. She claimed that the nondisclosure agreement that she had signed in reference to the alleged affair was invalid because Trump had never personally signed it. The suit also alleges that Trump's attorney had been trying to intimidate Daniels and "scare her into not talking". A day later, Cohen initiated an ex parte arbitration process that resulted in an order that barred Daniels from disclosing "confidential information" related to the nondisclosure agreement. The order itself, which Daniels' lawyers called bogus, was supposed to remain confidential.[55]
In a March 25, 2018, interview with 60 Minutes, Daniels said that she and Trump had sex once, and that later she had been threatened in front of her infant daughter and felt pressured to later sign a nondisclosure agreement.[56][57]
On April 9, 2018, FBI agents raided Cohen's office and seized emails, tax documents and business records relating to several matters, including payments to Daniels.[58]
On April 30, 2018, Daniels filed a lawsuit against Trump on libel charges because he called her statements "fraud". It relates to Trump's statements on Twitter claiming that Clifford had invented the story of the man who threatened her after she decided to tell journalists about their affair.[59]
