WASHINGTON - An American porn star who claims to have had an affair with Donald Trump before he became president now feels free to tell her story, her manager said Wednesday.After Trump&#x27;s longtime personal lawyer admitted paying $130,000 to Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election, the actress&#x27;s manager suggested a non-disclosure agreement had been broken.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/02/14/18/trump-lawyer-says-he-paid-130000-to-porn-star-linked-to-president">Trump lawyer says he paid $130,000 to porn star linked to president</a></li></ul>&quot;Everything is off now, and Stormy is going to tell her story,&quot; manager Gina Rodriguez told US media.Trump&#x27;s aide and special counsel Michael Cohen has refused to say why he paid Daniels the vast sum but was not, as he claims, reimbursed by the &quot;Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign.&quot;Trump declined to comment on the issue. The White House has dodged questions about whether allegations of an affair are true, claiming the matter was dealt with during the campaign.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/01/13/18/trump-lawyer-arranged-pre-election-hush-money-for-porn-star-report">Trump lawyer arranged pre-election hush money for porn star: report</a></li></ul>It has also referred any questions about the payment to Cohen.Vice President Mike Pence described suggestions of an affair as &quot;the latest baseless allegations against the president.&quot;Last month, celebrity magazine In Touch published a 2011 interview with Daniels -- whose real name is Stephanie Clifford -- in which she details having &quot;textbook generic&quot; sex with Trump.She recalled meeting Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006, shortly after the president&#x27;s wife Melania Trump gave birth to their son Barron.<div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2018/news/01/13/pornstar.jpg"/><figcaption>Adult film actress/director Stormy Daniels appears at the Wicked Pictures booth at the 2017 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo at the Hard Rock Hotel &amp; Casino on January 18, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But if you didn&#x27;t have a non-disclosure agreement, you most certainly could say, &#x27;I don&#x27;t have a non-disclosure agreement.&#x27; Yes?&quot; Kimmel asked.&quot;You&#x27;re so smart, Jimmy,&quot; Daniels answered.Later in the interview, Kimmel asked, &quot;Have you ever made love to someone whose name rhymes with Lonald Lump?&quot;&quot;I&#x27;ll call you whatever you want me to call you, baby,&quot; Daniels responded.arb/oh© Agence France-Presse
