Since this is coming back in the news & I had found this book recently at a library sale, figured why not read it. It is a good read, she has led an interesting life from a poor and struggling upbringing and having to figure things out quickly in life by herself to becoming a successful porn star, writer & director. The funny thing about all of this is that the involvement with Donald Trump was basically one night and a bunch of phone calls. Her life is so much more than this but this is what she has become known for to most people. And it wasn't just that one night--it was the fact that DT & his handlers--at the time Michael Cohen were worried if reports of this would get out DT it would hurt him in the 2016 election--and it probably would. They decided to pay off Stormy and sign a non-disclosure agreement but sounds like she signed by no one for DT signed. This with Karen McDougal also basically with same thing around time--both these stories were getting bought by a tabloid so that he would then not publish these and no one else could either. Shady stuff but illegal ? The illegal comes with using campaign funds to pay them off and as NY contends this was done to influence the 2016 election. Becomes an accounting crime and with election involved makes it a felony--maybe a stretch but will see. I think that makes this serious is that Michael Cohen did spend time in jail for his part and if DT is one that approved payments then he might be seeing jail time too.
This book has staining so cannot put into PBS system. Not sure if my friends would be interested in this book so likely just getting donated away at some point.
