‘Furious’ Melania was blindsided by report of Trump’s payoff to porn star: New York Times
The US First Lady cancelled a trip to Davos with her husband after news broke of his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels, but she is due to attend his first State of the Union address
Reports that porn star Stormy Daniels had been paid to keep quiet about an alleged affair she had with President Donald Trump over a decade ago blindsided and infuriated first lady Melania Trump, according to a report.
The first lady has kept a low profile since The Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen, the president’s lawyer, paid Daniels US$130,000 to cover up the affair in exchange for her silence just before the 2016 election.
She was furious with Trump amid the payoff reports, sources close to the couple told
Melania Trump was absent from her husband’s trip to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum last week – but will be attending the president’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday, according to the Times.
After skipping the Davos forum, she instead visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, before heading to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday.
