First lady Melania Trump does not believe her husband had an extramarital affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday.
“She believes her husband and she doesn’t think it’s true,” Giuliani said at the “Globes” Capital Market Conference in Israel.
The first lady has said very little about the alleged affair since news broke late last year that Trump had paid the adult film star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 to stay silent.
Melania Trump’s communications director Stephanie Grisham said in March the president’s wife was “focused on being a mom” while working on her future projects. The White House has denied the allegations.
“Trump is a real gentleman who respects his wife and loves his daughter and has a warm relationship with his ex-wives,” Giuliani said Wednesday.
Giuliani, who is representing Trump in the Russia investigation, said he doesn’t believe Daniels because she doesn’t have credibility.
“A woman who sells her body for sexual exploitation I don’t respect,” he added. “Tell me what damage she suffered. Someone who sells his or her body for money has no good name.”
