Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump Controversy: Melania Trump's Communications Director Reacts, White House Questions Her Credibility
The adult-film actress Stormy Daniels had her no-holds-barred interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday, March 25, regarding her alleged affair with U.S. President Donald Trump in 2006. As she talked about a lot of things about their so-called relationship, the White House, and Melania Trump's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, made their reactions.
The First Lady remains mum about the issue surrounding her husband and the pornographic star. The latter revealed that she just gave birth to their son Barron when they had an affair. However, it seemed like Grisham could not take what Daniels was saying when she dragged the name of an innocent child.
"While I know the media is enjoying speculation & salacious gossip, I'd like to remind people there's a minor child whose name should be kept out of news stories when at all possible," Grisham said in a tweet after Daniels' 60 Minutes interview.
These were not the only claims Daniels made. In fact, she even exposed that she had spanked Donald. The most surprising of all was the story about the president allegedly comparing her to his daughter, Ivanka Trump. She even asserted that the former television personality's team was threatening her.
With that, the White House questioned Daniels' credibility with all the exposés that she made, The Guardian reported. "With respect to that interview, I will say the president strongly, clearly has consistently denied these underlying claims," administration spokesman Raj Shah said at a press briefing at the White House on Monday, March 26.
He even insisted that the only person who was continuously being inconsistent amidst the issue is the "one who is making the claims." Even though Shah didn't directly mention Daniels' name, it was pretty obvious that he was referring to her. He continued to explain that Donald denied her assertions and was consistently doing so. On the other hand, she remains inconsistent.
Aside from the U.S. President, Daniels is also facing a legal battle against Donald's personal attorney, Michael Cohen. This is regarding her accusation that he is the one responsible for sending a man to threaten her.
Cohen's lawyer, Brent Blakely, made a letter to Daniels' legal representative to say that his client just made "false and defamatory comments." On the other hand, the star, who is also known as Stormy Waters or simply Stormy, added Cohen to the lawsuit she filed against Donald. She said that he had defamed her by saying that she was lying about her alleged relationship with Trump.
