A lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a payment of $130,000 to a former adult film actress in October 2016, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal citing sources familiar with the matter. Drake is one of more than 20 women who have accused Trump of sexual harassment and abuse over several decades. Trump has repeatedly denied the women’s stories, and the White House has said all of the president’s accusers are lying. The report notes that Trump may not have been aware of any payment. Shortly before the 2016 election, The Wall Street Journal reported that Clifford had been in talks with producers of ABC’s “Good Morning America” to appear on the program and discuss her experience with the then-presidential candidate.
