An attorney for Daniels, Clark Brewster, told The Associated Press that the porn actor, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is “likely” to be called as a witness in the trial on Tuesday.
Trump said earlier Tuesday that he was “recently told” who the witness would be on Tuesday and complained he should’ve been given more notice.
In the final weeks of Trump’s 2016 Republican presidential campaign, his then-lawyer and personal fixer, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about what she says was an awkward and unexpected sexual encounter with Trump at a celebrity golf outing in Lake Tahoe in July 2006. Trump denies having sex with Daniels.
Trump and his campaign were reeling from the Oct. 7, 2016, publication of the never-before-seen 2005 “Access Hollywood” footage in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitals.
He spoke with Cohen and Hope Hicks, his campaign’s press secretary, by phone the next day as they sought to limit damage from the tape and keep his alleged affairs out of the press.

Will she testify that Trump gave her a gag order?
A porn actress who accused Trump of an affair, took money to stay silent, broke that agreement, sent a letter denying the affair ever happened, and then recanted that denial should make a great, credible witness.

backed up by a disbarred lawyer and imprisoned serial perjurer.
For an issue that was passed on twice by the FEC, declined by the SDNY and then declined by by former NY AG Cyrus Vance,
I wonder if she’ll admit to being a grifter like she did in her sworn statement?
