"Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski said Wednesday that President Trump Donald John TrumpBubba Wallace to be driver of Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin NASCAR team Graham: GOP will confirm Trump's Supreme Court nominee before the election Southwest Airlines, unions call for six-month extension of government aid MORE's silence on the scandal surrounding an alleged affair with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels is "deafening," arguing that it's unusual for Trump not to comment on such matters.

"I still think there’s something going on here," Brzezinski said on the MSNBC show. "His silence is too deafening, Joe, in that Trump doesn’t stay silent at any insult to his — how do I say this, sexual integrity?"

"He wants to look like a big guy, and whenever he seems anything but, he would punch back," she continued. "And Stormy Daniels said she didn’t really like him, she didn’t really want to be with him, and she found him to be tiresome and she passed on a second opportunity. The president normally, in terms of his behavioral patterns, would punch back at that."

Brzezinski's comments came days after CBS's "60 Minutes" aired a bombshell interview with Daniels in which the adult-film actress recounted her alleged sexual encounter with Trump.

Daniels is suing to void a nondisclosure agreement that she and her lawyers say prevents her from speaking publicly about the alleged affair.

While Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and the White House have denied that Trump had an affair with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, the president himself has yet to comment personally on the matter.
