You remind me of my daughter

What ex-Prez ‘told Daniels before sex tryst’

- CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

DONALD Trump told porn star Stormy Daniels she reminded him of his daughter before he had sex with her, a court heard.

The actress testified yesterday in the former president's hush money trial.

If found guilty, he could be imprisoned for up to four years.

The case centres on an alleged $130,000 (£104,000) payment to Daniels, who had been in talks with the National Enquirer to sell her story.

It is alleged lawyer Michael Cohen paid her to prevent the allegations emerging ahead of the 2016 presidential vote, which Trump won, and that Trump later paid back Cohen, obscuring the real nature of the payments in internal business papers.

Daniels yesterday gave trial jurors a detailed account of an alleged tryst with Trump, 77, after a golf tournament in 2006. She said Trump told her at the golf event in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, he was impressed that she worked behind the camera as well as acted.

Daniels told jurors: "He said, 'You direct, too. You must be the smart one"."

Commenting on her also being intelligent and blonde like his second child Ivanka, Daniels said Trump remarked: "You remind me of my daughter." She testified that she had been due to have dinner with colleagues when Trump invited her to his hotel suite.

She said her publicist advised her to skip the dinner in favour of seeing Trump, as it would make a good story.

Once in the suite, Daniels said she teased Trump for wearing silk or satin pyjamas, saying he looked like Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner.

"I told him to change, and he obliged, very politely," Daniels added.
