Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who says she had an affair with Donald Trump, has claimed she and her daughter were threatened when she first tried to go public with the story of their alleged affair, it emerged last night.

In a much-anticipated interview Miss Daniels said she had sex with Donald Trump in 2006, recanting a statement denying the affair that Trump’s personal lawyer issued under her name in January.

She said she and her young daughter were physically threatened by an unidentified man in Las Vegas in 2011 if she revealed the affair.
