Daniels/ Clifford met Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, California, where she was hired to greet competitors between tees.
She has claimed Trump had a bodyguard invite her to dinner, and that they later had sex in his hotel room despite him being married to eventual first lady Melania Trump.
Trump will next face a court hearing on 4th December about the trial so it will be a while before we find out if the case will end up affecting the former president or if it will end up a big Stormy in a teacup.
