Another Trump accuser knew about alleged Stormy Daniels affair, settlement says

Among those who knew: Jessica Drake, another adult actress who has accused Trump of inappropriate sexual contact.

Although Stormy Daniels reached a deal to keep silent about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, the porn star had already discussed it with several people, according to a newly released settlement agreement.

Among those who knew: Jessica Drake, another adult actress who has accused Trump of inappropriate sexual contact.

The agreement, made public for the first time this week as part of Daniels' lawsuit against Trump, lists four individuals with whom Daniels had shared information before she signed the agreement on Oct. 28, 2016, days before the presidential election.

Drake is listed as "Angel Ryan."

In an email to USA TODAY, her lawyer, Gloria Allred, confirmed that "Angel Ryan is my client, Jessica Drake." She declined to comment about what Drake knew about the Daniels-Trump matter.

Drake's appearance on the list of individuals possessing "confidential information" was first reported by CNN.

Daniels' manager Gina Rodriquez also is among those listed. Reached via Twitter on Thursday evening, she said she wasn’t “answering any questions.”

An individual named Keith Munyan also appears on the list. A celebrity photographer with that name photographed Daniels' 2007 calendar.

He did not immediately respond to interview requests on Thursday evening. USA TODAY could not identify the fourth person, whose last name was not clearly legible on the hand-written list.

On Tuesday, Daniels filed a lawsuit, claiming that $130,000 settlement she reached with Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen to keep quiet about the alleged affair was no longer valid because Trump never signed the document. She said the two had an affair that began in 2006 and lasted "well into 2007."

The lawsuit marked the first time Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, publicly admitted reaching a financial deal for her silence.

In October 2016, Drake accused Trump of making unwanted advances at a 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev. — the same event at which Daniels allegedly met the then-New York businessman.

Trump has denied Drake's allegations and has said he did not have an affair with Daniels. Last week, Trump's lawyer secured a temporary restraining order to block Daniels from sharing her story.

The details of the secret restraining order became public Wednesday after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that the president's lawyer had won an arbitration proceeding against Daniels.
