    I have deliberately not been following the trial closely. I hesitate to ask… is this true?

      It is true. It came out a while ago. It was just entered into testimony. I didn’t actually read her statements and answers, so I don’t know what level of detail she went into, but it was in her book and she talked about it at the time.

      I think he made it everyone’s business… I think that he might even enjoy making it everyone’s business.

      I would argue it is.

      As the potential next president it is important to judge if he is incorruptible and if there is anything foreign powers could use to blackmail or bribe him into a specific course of action

        To be fair “potential next president” already answers if someone is corruptable

        Idk about that. Trump only has a problem with this story because the person involved told everyone. If everything was known about any chief-of-state or government candidate in the world, probably you’d find things to use against them in most cases. Even things like this, that are an embarressment rather than any corruption. If a russian asset, rather than Stormy Daniels, had this on Trump, you would not know about it.
