Porn star 'told to leave Trump alone' over affair claims

An adult film actress has said she was threatened to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump in 2006.

Stormy Daniels told CBS News' 60 Minutes programme that a man approached her in a Las Vegas car park in 2011.

The stranger allegedly said "leave Trump alone", then looked at her young daughter and added: "It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom."

Mr Trump denies having had an affair with the actress.

His lawyers are seeking $20m (£14m) in damages from her, saying she broke a non-disclosure deal signed before the 2016 presidential election.

She has filed a lawsuit to scrap the agreement, saying it is invalid because Mr Trump did not sign it.

Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she had sex with Mr Trump just once, in a hotel room during a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, California, in July 2006. Mr Trump married Melania Trump in 2005.

Ms Daniels claims she and Mr Trump stayed in contact for years afterwards, and last spoke in 2010.

While Mr Trump flew back to the capital from his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida on Sunday night, Mrs Trump will reportedly stay in Florida for the remainder of spring vacation.

In response to questions about the interview, spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said Mrs Trump was, "focused on being a mom and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects."
