Daniels,44,whose real name is Stephanie Clifford,is from Baton Rouge,Louisiana. She has been a well-known personality in the adult film business for more than two decades,appearing in and directing numerous videos.
Daniels has said she was introduced to Trump in July 2006 at a celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe. She said he invited her to dinner,and they dined at his hotel suite,where he showed her a copy of a golf magazine with his picture on the cover.
They went on to have consensual sex.
