Insider vouches for report that Donald Trump asked to be spanked by porn star with Forbes

A FRIEND of porn star Stormy Daniels vouched for reports the US President asked her to spank him with a copy of Forbes magazine and gave new details of the alleged affair.

A CLOSE friend of Stormy Daniels has corroborated her alleged sexual relationship with US President Donald Trump — and claimed the porn star once spanked the then-businessman at his request with a Forbes magazine featuring his family on the cover.

Photographer Keith Munyan, 56, told The Daily Beast he eavesdropped on at least six phone calls between Mr Trump and Ms Daniels on speakerphone during their alleged affair in 2006.

“He would call all the time. That man can talk about nothing for hours,” Mr Munyan said.

Mr Munyan also spoke to The Washington Post late on Monday and vouched for an earlier report that Ms Daniels had once spanked Mr Trump at his request with a copy of Forbes magazine. The issue is understood to have featured Mr Trump with two of his children, Donald Jr and Ivanka, on the cover.

Mr Munyan also claimed that Mr Trump and Ms Daniels would meet up for “textbook generic” sex at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. He said the businessman had promised Ms Daniels a part on his hit show, The Apprentice. Mr Trump has denied allegations of an affair.

Ms Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is in the process of suing Mr Trump to quash a “hush agreement” over their alleged affair.

In a letter to Michael Cohen on Monday, Ms Daniels offered to send $US130,000 ($A165,000) to an account designated by Mr Trump so she could be released from a nondisclosure agreement she signed in October 2016.

Once a new agreement is signed, the letter said, Ms Daniels would also be able to use and publish any text messages, photos and videos relating to Mr Trump that she might possess.

Mr Cohen, a private lawyer for Mr Trump, has said he paid the adult film star $US130,000 ($A165,000) of his own money during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Mr Cohen did not explain why he made the payment or say whether Mr Trump was aware of it.

Ms Daniel’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said Mr Cohen had not responded to the offer by the proposed deadline of noon on Tuesday.

“The President and Mr Cohen have purposely ignored our settlement offer, thus doubling down on their efforts to muzzle Ms Clifford and prevent her from telling the American people what happened,” Mr Avenatti tweeted. “Time to buckle up.”

Ms Daniels could face a $US1 million ($A1.27 million) penalty if she breaks the nondisclosure agreement. She taped an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes program last week that has yet to be aired.

The White House referred the matter to Mr Trump’s personal lawyer for comment. Neither Mr Cohen, nor his lawyer Lawrence Rosen, responded to a request for comment.

Mr Avenatti filed a lawsuit last week in Los Angeles, claiming Mr Trump never signed the nondisclosure agreement that his lawyer made with her, rendering it null and void, and making public the agreement and related documents.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told a briefing last week that Mr Trump had won an arbitration proceeding against Ms Clifford.
