Former President Donald J. Trump has once again made headlines, this time for sharing a potentially game-changing document. Trump shared the letter on Truth Social early Wednesday, from adult film actress Stormy Daniels, dating back to 2018 wherein she denied having had an affair with the former president.
The letter, addressed “To Whom It May Concern,” resurfaced amidst the ongoing investigations into Trump’s alleged payment of hush money to Daniels. In the document, Daniels is quoted denying the affair not due to financial compensation, as previously speculated in numerous reports, but because “it never happened.” The letter stated, “I am denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.”
Trump’s social media post accompanying the letter exclaimed, “LOOK WHAT WAS JUST FOUND! WILL THE FAKE NEWS REPORT IT?” He further criticized the media and the Democrats for the “hush money witch hunt,” saying that the letter’s contents should nullify the allegations against him.

The post quickly gained traction on social media, with Trump supporters seeing it as a vindication of the former president. The Stormy Daniels saga began back in 2016 when it was reported that Trump’s then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, had paid Daniels $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement to prevent her from speaking about her alleged affair with Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has denied the affair and any wrongdoing related to the payment, which has been a focal point of multiple legal inquiries.
The developments have thrust the years-old controversy back into the spotlight.
