President Trump continues to deny having an affair with a porn star, but as they say, the proof really is in the pudding.

At this point, it seems pretty certain that President Trump indeed had sexual relations with that woman...who ended up being a porn star. Recently, a Wall Street Journal report surfaced claiming that before the 2016 election, Trump's lawyer paid $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels to remain quiet about a sexual encounter she had with Trump in 2006.

While she denied all allegations in a statement made this year, her story in 2011 was a bit different. According to the New York Post, Daniels disclosed to In Touch Weekly that she and Trump had an affair, which started following the birth of his son Barron Trump. In order to check the validity of the story, the magazine verified Daniels' version with her friends', and asked Daniels to take a polygraph test, which she passed. Her 2011 interview is slated to appear in In Touch's Jan. 29 issue.

Daniels and Trump met at a a golf tournament in Nevada in 2006, a year after Trump married Melania Trump. But the relationship didn't end there: Trump became infatuated with Daniels and began calling her often, the New York Post reported. They would also meet often, at his office at Trump Tower, at the release party for Trump Vodka in Los Angeles in 2007, and at the Miss USA Pageant in 2007. The two eventually severed ties in 2010.

As if that isn't sufficient proof, after Daniels denied the affair, the porn star Alana Evans came forward and claimed that Trump and Daniels invited Evans back to his hotel room after that same 2006 golf tournament. Evans declined the offer. The Daily Beast confirmed that in the fall of 2016, Daniels was in talks with them but withdrew just before the 2016 election. Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen and a Trump rep have denied the Journal's report.
