WASHINGTON March 26 (TNS):<\/strong> An adult-film actress who claims she had sex with US President Donald Trump before he was president has said that she had been threatened in 2011 while in a parking lot with her infant daughter to discourage her from discussing the relationship.<\/p>\n

Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford told CBS News\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes\u201d that she was on her way to a fitness class with her child when an unknown man approached her, according to a transcript of the interview released on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd a guy walked up on me and said to me, \u2018Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.\u2019 And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, \u2018That\u2019s a beautiful little girl. It\u2019d be a shame if something happened to her mom.\u2019 And then he was gone,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n

Daniels sued the president on March 6, stating Trump never signed an agreement for her to keep quiet about an \u201cintimate\u201d relationship between them.<\/p>\n

White House aides did not respond immediately to requests for comment after the interview aired.<\/p>\n

Trump did not respond to reporters\u2019 shouted questions about whether he would watch the interview when he returned to the White House from Florida on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Daniels\u2019 appearance represented back-to-back trouble for Trump after an interview broadcast last week on CNN with former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who described a 10-month-long affair with Trump starting in 2006.<\/p>\n

Trump would have been married to his wife, Melania, during both the alleged extramarital relationships. The first lady accompanied him this weekend to his Florida golf club. A White House spokeswoman said Melania stayed behind, as is her custom during their son\u2019s school holiday.<\/p>\n

NOT ATTRACTED<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniels told \u201c60 Minutes\u201d she and Trump had had sexual relations only once, but that she had seen him on other occasions and he had kept in touch with her.<\/p>\n

She said she was not attracted to Trump, who was 60 at the time. Daniels was 27 in 2006.<\/p>\n

The White House has denied he had an affair with Daniels, although Trump\u2019s lawyer Michael Cohen said he paid her $130,000 of his own money during the 2016 presidential election campaign.<\/p>\n

The payment could pose a legal problem. Watchdog groups have filed complaints with the Department of Justice and Federal Election Commission, saying that it may have violated campaign finance law by exceeding the limit on the size of a contribution.<\/p>\n

Cohen, who has denied that there was an affair, has not explained why he made the payment or said whether Trump was aware of it.<\/p>\n

After the interview screened, Cohen\u2019s lawyer Brent Blakely wrote to Daniels\u2019 attorney to say she made false and defamatory comments, \u201cnamely that he (Cohen) was responsible for an alleged thug who supposedly visited\u201d and threatened her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn truth, Mr. Cohen had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any such person or incident, and does not even believe that any such person exists, or that such incident ever occurred,\u201d Blakely said in the letter.<\/p>\n

Daniels and her attorney would not discuss in the interview whether they had text messages or other materials that might verify her story.<\/p>\n

She was asked why she repeatedly signed statements denying the relationship with Trump, and acknowledged that there could be questions about her credibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt intimidated and … honestly bullied. And I didn\u2019t know what to do. And so I signed it,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n

Asked why viewers could be confident now that she was telling the truth, she said: \u201cCause I have no reason to lie. I\u2019m opening myself up for, you know, possible danger, and definitely a whole lot of s***,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
