Slate Group editor-in-chief Jacob Weisberg has also reported that Daniels told him in 2016 she had a yearlong affair with Trump after meeting him at a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada in 2006. He said they were in talks about publishing her account when Daniels stopped responding to his calls and text messages about a week before the presidential election.
According to InTouch, Daniels said her affair with Trump began after he invited her to dinner and she showed up at his hotel room where she was met by a bodyguard named "Keith." Trump did have a bodyguard named Keith Schiller who left the White House in September.
Inside the hotel room, Daniels allegedly said she found Trump sprawled out on a couch in pajama pants and watching TV.
"I was like, 'Ha, does Mr. Hefner know that you stole his outfit?'" Daniels told the magazine, referring to late pajama-wearing Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner. We ended up having dinner in the room. Daniels said neither of them touched alcohol and that Trump peppered her with business questions while she teased him about his hair and asked about his wife, Melania, who just four months earlier had given birth to their son Barron.
He goes, Oh, dont worry about her, Daniels told the magazine.
Daniels said they talked for hours and that after she went to the bathroom she found Trump sitting on the bed and he was like, Come here. And I was like, Ugh, here we go.
The sex, Daniels said, was "nothing crazy."
In the interview, Daniels said she later told the porn actor Randy Spears about the encounter, who then confirmed to InTouch that they had that conversation.
I think she got a kick out of the fact that it was Donald Trump, Spears told the magazine.
Daniels claimed to the magazine that Trump was smitten with her, called her honeybunch, and promised to get her a part on "The Apprentice."
It was almost like he was so taken with me that I could move him around like a puppet, she said.
Daniels told InTouch that she visited Trump at his office in Trump Tower and saw him at several other events after that, including the Miss USA Pageant in 2007. She said she spoke to him by phone several times as well, and her now ex-husband Michael Mosny, aka Michael Moz, sometimes listened in.
Her last call from Trump, according to the article was in late 2009 or early 2010.
Since then, however, Daniels has denied the affair even after her former Wicked Pictures actress Jessica Drake joined a dozen or so women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct. Drake said her ugly encounter with Trump happened at the same golf tournament where he met Daniels.
