Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic film star better known as Stormy Daniels, is scheduled to meet on Monday for the first time with prosecutors investigating Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal fixer, according to a person familiar with the case.

For several months, prosecutors from the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan have been looking into whether Mr. Cohen broke the law in any of his various business dealings — among them, a $130,000 payment he made to Ms. Clifford in the run-up to the 2016 election that was meant to keep her quiet about an extramarital affair she claims she had with Mr. Trump.

Ms. Clifford has been cooperating with the prosecutors, including providing them with documents about the payment, in response to a subpoena, the person familiar with the case said. But the interview on Monday will give prosecutors their first opportunity to ask Ms. Clifford detailed questions about the arrangement, which Mr. Trump initially denied but then acknowledged in a startling turnabout last month.

It was unclear exactly what Ms. Clifford planned to tell the prosecutors. But legal experts have said that if the payment to her was intended to influence the presidential race by suppressing an explosive news story that could have damaged Mr. Trump’s election chances, it could be covered by federal campaign finance laws.

4. This is so typical of the

times we now live in. A porn actress with more credibility than a sitting president! I wonder how soon the "Intelligence Committee" also known as "Nunes personal ass lickers" will subpoena Ms. Daniels, so he can publish a report, denying all that she reveals? Worst president in the history of the country, being protected by the worst house and congress in history. For 8 years of the Obama Presidency, these worthless gop members sat on their hands, did nothing except obstruct. Now we have a complete MORON and Putin puppet in our WH, and they are all working frantically to destroy everything this country ever stood for. By the time they are voted out, it will be too late. The damage will have been done.
