October surprise: Stormy Daniels to release tell-all book on Trump

Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who claims she had a sexual encounter with President Donald Trump, revealed on Wednesday that she has penned a tell-all book that will be released Oct. 2.

Daniels made the announcement on "The View," telling the hosts that she will share more details about her interactions with Trump in the book, titled "Full Disclosure."


“Yes. It's full disclosure. That's why I named it that,” Daniels said, when asked by co-host Joy Behar whether the memoir will dish about the night she allegedly spent with Trump in a hotel room in 2006.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has emerged as a significant figure since going public with her claim and suing the president for defamation. The controversy escalated when Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani revealed that the president had repaid Michael Cohen, his longtime personal lawyer and fixer, for the hush money deal that Cohen struck with Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

On Wednesday, Daniels said she's been working on the memoir for a decade and that while it will detail interactions with Trump, it will also be about her personal life and her career as a porn star.

“I've been working on a book for about 10 years, so I just sort of melded everything together. I've kept notebooks of the adventures I've had on the road and in strip clubs and stuff. It will blow your mind,” she said during the interview.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who got a sneak peak at the book, said the memoir also focuses on Daniels' childhood. “The book is really about you, and that's the most important thing here," Goldberg said.

Daniels said she dedicated the book to her daughter. "It was written for her,” Daniels said, adding that her daughter won’t be allowed to read it “until she’s of a certain age.”
