How Ivanka Trump Got Involved In The Donald And Stormy Daniels Controversy

Summary

• Stormy Daniels testified about an intimate night with Trump, including his comparison of her to Ivanka.
• Donald Trump's uncomfortable comments about Ivanka's looks and body have raised many eyebrows.
• Tiffany Trump also faced scrutiny in her father's hush money trial, involving a potential extortion attempt.

It seems that many details about the Trump family were exposed during the Donald Trump hush money trial.

The former U.S. President was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments made to adult entertainment actress Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about an intimate night they shared prior to the 2016 Presidential election, in which he emerged the victor.

During her testimony, Stormy Daniels shared many intimate details about the night that she allegedly shared with Donald Trump, including a time when the entrepreneur compared her to his own daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Stormy Daniels Says Donald Trump Compared Her To His Daughter Ivanka

Stormy Daniels testified under oath about an intimate night that she allegedly shared with former U.S. President Donald Trump.

In May 2024, Stormy Daniels testified under oath about an intimate night she shared with Donald Trump after meeting him at a golf tournament in 2006. She explained that his bodyguard had approached her and asked her if she would like to have dinner with the future President. Although she initially declined the offer, a conversation with her publicist changed her mind.

However, when she got to his hotel room, she claimed that Trump was there in his pajamas. Although he changed, he seemed eager to discuss her work in the adult film industry. Stormy Daniels had originally gotten her start as a performer, but later went on to establish herself as a director.

After he asked her if she had ever contracted an STD – she claims she has “never tested positive for anything” – Daniels told Trump that she had “enough of his arrogance,” in testimony transcribed by NBC News. She says she looked at the magazine in Trump’s hand and said, “Someone should spank you with that.”

Daniels says the conversation lasted two hours, in which he asked her if performers ever “hooked up” off camera. Somehow, this led to Donald Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, entering the conversation. Although the two had married the year before, Trump allegedly told Daniels that the two did not “even sleep in the same room.”

Although he did not compare Daniels to his wife, she claims that he did compare her to his daughter, Ivanka, in that they were both blonde, intelligent and easily underestimated by others.

Although many were interested in more details about the film star’s night with Trump, Judge Juan Merchan was reportedly not happy with the amount of being shared, saying, “The degree of detail that we are going into here is just unnecessary.”

Donald Trump Has Been Criticized For The Way He Talks About Ivanka Trump

Many individuals have said that it is “creepy” the way that Donald Trump refers to his daughter, Ivanka Trump.

There have been many times that Donald Trump talked about his daughter Ivanka Trump in a way that some people have found “creepy” and uncomfortable. Stormy Daniels’ comments about Ivanka in the trial were not anything new, as she had told InTouch magazine in 2011 that “I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart, just like his daughter.”

• In a 2013 interview on The Wendy Williams Show, Trump was asked about the father and daughter’s favorite activities. “I was going to say sex, but I can relate to [golf and real estate],” he said in a clip that was removed from the show’s page on YouTube.
• One of the more viral moments came from a March 2006 episode of The View, in which he was asked how he felt about his daughter posing for Playboy. He said that his daughter had a “very nice figure,” before going on to say, “I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

It wasn’t the only time that he complimented her body. In 2003, on The Howard Stern Show, he said, “You know who’s got one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall. She’s got the best body.”

In 2015, Trump seemed to double down on comments that he would date his daughter. In an interview for Rolling Stone, Trump told reporter Paul Solotaroff, “Yeah, she’s really something. And what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married, and ya know, her father…” He did not finish that sentence, but many are still wondering what he was planning to say!

Ivanka Trump Wasn’t The Only Family Member’s Life Exposed In The Hush Money Case

Although she wanted to stay out of the spotlight, Tiffany Trump was also dragged into Donald Trump’s hush money trial.

There have been a lot of questions about how the women in Donald Trump’s life dealt with the hush money trial. It is worth noting that Donald Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, did not attend the hush money trial. Although Tiffany Trump did not attend her father’s hush money trial, some salacious details emerged about her regardless.

It is possible that Tiffany Trump faced a potential extortion scheme that involved blackmail over photos. During the testimony given by Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, he was asked about his schedule by Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche.

Blanche specifically asked Cohen if he remembered Tiffany Trump coming to him for help after someone tried to blackmail her. “You recall on October 25th, you recall her communicating with you concerns about somebody trying to blackmail her?” he asked. In response, Cohen replied, “Yes sir.”

Cohen then went on to explain that Tiffany Trump sought his help, and he was able to speak to her, David Pecker, and several other individuals about her situation. Although the exact details were not revealed, Blanche stated that she faced a “potential extortion attempt” that seemed to involve some kind of photos.

Although Donald Trump has five children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Boulos (née Trump), and Barron Trump, Tiffany has mostly stayed out of the spotlight. In 2013, during an interview, she told host Oprah Winfrey, “Since I have grown up on the West Coast, I’m definitely different from all of them growing up on the East Coast.”

She went on to say, “It was great for me getting to grow up as a normal kid just out of the spotlight, versus all of them growing up in New York. They always had that intense media and spotlight on them.”

Jimmy Kimmel Cracked Up During One Stormy Daniels Reveal About Donald Trump

Not all details about Donald Trump came from inside the courtroom!

Although Stormy Daniels presented a lot of testimony about Donald Trump, she gave Jimmy Kimmel a fun fact about the former President when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in June 2024. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t keep a straight face when Stormy Daniels told him what she found in Donald Trump’s bathroom.

Daniels explained that Trump is “very fond” of the color gold and so she noted that all of his plucking and grooming utensils were gold. However, she was “shocked” to learn that a man of his rumored wealth would use products like Pert Plus and Old Spice, which can be picked up at virtually any grocery store. After seeing the look on Jimmy’s face, Daniels remarked, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jimmy this happy.”

That wasn’t the only fun fact that Stormy Daniels has revealed about Donald Trump over the years. At one point, Kimmel read a passage from her book that detailed her having dinner with him at a hotel in Beverly Hills. While she was there, she noted that he was watching Shark Week because he was “obsessed and terrorized by sharks.”

Although Jimmy Kimmel was clearly amused by the fun fact, Stormy Daniels wasn’t as surprised. “Everyone loves Shark Week,” she told him. “Admit it. You love Shark Week.”
