First lady Melania Trump referred to adult film actress Stormy Daniels as "the porn hooker" in a secretly recorded tape released by her former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.
Wolkoff released the audio of her conversation with the first lady on an episode of Mea Culpa, a podcast hosted by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
"Go Google and read it," the first lady said in the recording. "Annie Leibovitz shot the porn hooker, and she (Daniels) will be [in] one of the issues."
The adult film actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, detailed her alleged affair with the president in an interview with Vogue in August 2018, in which she claimed the president paid her more than $100,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement ahead of the 2016 election.

First lady Melania Trump called Stormy Daniels as "the porn hooker" in a recording released by her former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

Wolkoff played the audio with the reference during an episode of Mea Culpa, a podcast hosted by ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, on Monday. Wolkoff has released a slew of tapes she recorded during her friendship with the first lady.

During the podcast, Wolkoff played a clip of the first lady complaining about a Vogue photoshoot in 2018 featuring Daniels, an adult film actress who was embroiled in a scandal with President Donald Trump.

"Go Google and read it," the first lady said in the recording. "Annie Leibovitz shot the porn hooker, and she (Daniels) will be [in] one of the issues, September or October."

"Shut the f--- up," Wolkoff responded. "For what?"

"It was yesterday it came up," Melania Trump replied. "For Vogue. It will be in Vogue. Annie Leibovitz shot her."

Daniels claimed the president paid her more than $100,000 for signing a non-disclosure agreement before the 2016 election about an alleged affair in 2006 between the two of them. The adult film actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, detailed her relationship with the president in an interview with Vogue in August 2018.

Wolkoff released other tapes of the first lady last week, the same day that it was revealed that she and the president tested positive for COVID-19. In the tapes, Melania Trump lashed out at critics of her visit to the US-Mexico border when she wore a jacket reading, "I really don't care. Do u?"

"I'm working on Christmas and planning for the Christmas, and they said: 'Oh, what about the children, that they were separated.' Give me a f---ing break," the first lady said, according to the audio released by Wolkoff.
