Donald Trump has already been found guilty of crimes related to hush-money payments he made to actress Stormy Daniels, but new reporting suggests the former president is still try to buy the silence of the adult film star.
A recording of a phone call and documents obtained by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow suggest that Trump's legal team offered to adjust the amount of money Daniels owes the former president in exchange for her not making “public or private statements related to any alleged past interactions” with the Republican candidate. Daniels lost a defamation lawsuit she had filed against Trump and was ordered in 2023 to pay his legal fees.
