This was it. The moment an entire nation (well, except perhaps one guy) was waiting for, and it did not disappoint. 
。

A pre-recorded interview with Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, aired this evening on。 60 Minutes 。and dived into her alleged affair with Donald Trump — as well as the supposed efforts to keep her quiet. 。

While Trump has so far publicly denied Daniels' claims, that didn't stop her from providing new details about the decade-old (again, alleged) happenings, and explaining why she went public in the first place.  。

"I was perfectly fine saying nothing at all," reads a transcript of the interview with Anderson Cooper, "but I'm not okay with being made out to be a liar, or people thinking that I did this for money and people are like, 'Oh, you're an opportunist. You're taking advantage of this.'" 。

She also recalled an incident where Trump allegedly dropped his pants and she spanked him with a magazine featuring the face of none other than Donald Trump.。

"So he turned around and pulled his pants down a little," claimed Daniels, "you know had underwear on and stuff and I just gave him a couple swats."。

Trump also allegedly told Daniels that she reminded him of his daughter.。

"He was like, 'Wow, you — you are special. You remind me of my daughter.' You know — he was like, 'You're smart and beautiful, and a woman to be reckoned with, and I like you. I like you.'" 。

Daniels also recounted what she said was an attempt to silence her in 2011.。

"I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter," Daniels told Cooper. "T— taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, gettin' all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom.' And then he was gone." 。

When Cooper asked her if she thought that was a direct threat, Daniels replied "absolutely." 。

Whether or not Trump will respond to this interview is unclear, but we can only imagine his thumbs are hovering above that "tweet" button as you read this.。
