Sunday’s “60 Minutes” featuring an interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels was the most-watched episode of the show in a decade, bringing in more than 21 million views. But the biggest takeaway for former prosecutor Jonna Spilbor was that Daniels poses no real legal threat to the president. “There’s nothing that Donald Trump has done that’s been illegal in terms of his dealings with her...This is really [just] an embarrassment, and it’s a way for Stormy Daniels to profit off a consensual encounter,” said Spilbor. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Cliffords, claims she had a consensual affair with the president back in 2006. In the interview, she said she was threatened into silence in 2011 after she initially sold her story to Bauer Publishing. “[She] cannot back up any of her claims,” said Spilbor. “If she was truly threatened, she should have gone to the police.” She also provided the salacious details of their time together, including spanking Trump with a Forbes magazine. During the 2016 presidential election Michael Cohen, Trump’s lawyer at the time, paid Daniels $130,000 in hush money and made her sign a non-disclosure agreement. She’s now suing to invalidate the NDA, since Trump himself never signed on the dotted line. Daniels interview aired days after CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper caught up with Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, who also claims to have had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago.
