Stormy dressed conservatively in a red blouse and black pencil skirt and looked serious as she told the interviewer about how they met and reportedly romped in hotel in 2006.

She claims they had unprotected sex in Lake Tahoe after meeting at a celebrity golf tournament, and stayed in touch - but were never intimate again.

Trump and the White House vehemently deny an affair took place.

We take a look at the porn star's biggest claims and the nagging questions still hanging over the scandal.

1. Did the President take a spanking?

Stormy told the show how Trump went on-and-on about himself when they first met, and even tried to woo her by showing off his photo on the cover of a magazine.

The actress claims she ordered him to hand it over, before making him drop his trousers and spanking him on the bum.

She told interviewer Anderson Cooper: "He turned around and pulled his pants down a little – you know had underwear on and stuff - and I just gave him a couple swats."

2. She was threatened by a mystery man over affair claims

Stormy says a sinister man approached her in a car park, in front of her tot daughter, after she spoke to a magazine about the alleged romp with Trump.

She told 60 Minutes: "A guy walked up on me and said to me 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story', and then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.'"

Stormy says she was left shaking by the experience.

Stormy Daniels says on 60 Minutes that she felt threatened after a man approached her weeks after she almost revealed her story with President Donald Trump in 2011

 

3. Does Stormy have sexy pictures of Trump?

There was speculation in the run up to the interview that Stormy might unveil incriminating pics or vids of the President.

That did not happen on the night - but both Stormy and her lawyer Michael Avenatti hinted they may hold an ace card.

The actress said: “My attorney has recommended that I don’t discuss those things."

And when Avenatti was pushed on whether he was bluffing, he smiled and said: "If people think I'm bluffing, they should ask the opponents in countless cases I've had over the last 15 years if I'm generally a guy that bluffs."

4. Do Donald and Melania sleep in separate beds?

While Trump flew to Washington DC tonight ahead of the 60 Minutes interview, his furious wife refused to travel, staying 1,000 miles away in Florida.

And she wouldn't have been too happy to hear Stormy claim Donald brushed off any mention of his wife before the affair.

Melania had just given birth to Donald's son when Stormy claims she romped with The Apprentice star.

Stormy told 60 Minutes: "I asked [about Melania] and he brushed it aside, said, 'don't worry about that. We even we have separate rooms and stuff."

5. Stormy didn't fancy Don...but don't call her a victim

Stormy revealed how she came out of the bathroom to find the tycoon perched on the edge of the bed.

She said: "I realised exactly what I'd gotten myself into. And I was like, 'Ugh, here we go.'"

Pushed on whether she was attracted to him - her being 27 and him 60 at the time - she said "no".

But she added: "I didn't say no. I'm not a victim."

Stormy slammed people asking her to lend her story to the #MeToo campaign.

She said: "This is not a 'Me Too.' I think trying to use me to further someone else's agenda, does horrible damage to people who are true victims."

Stormy Daniels says she is 'not a victim' and doesn't want to be associated with movements like the Me Too campaign on 60 Minutes

 

6. Donald 'compared Stormy to his own DAUGHTER'

Stormy claims that as the pair flirted Trump compare her, favourably, to his daughter Ivanka.

She said: "He was like, 'wow, you are special, you remind me of my daughter.'"

Stormy also claims he suggested she appeared on his show The Apprentice.

She added: "He goes 'got an idea, honeybunch. Would you ever consider going on and being a contestant?'"

7. He made her watch hours of shark documentaries

Stormy says she met up with Trump after their sex session, at his bungalow in Beverly Hills.

She said they didn't sleep together again, despite him making it clear he wanted to by touching her face and playing with her hair.

Instead the pair watched hours of shark TV shows.

Stormy added: "I remember arriving, and he was watching Shark Week.

"He made me sit and watch an entire documentary about shark attacks."

8. Why did Stormy sign papers DENYING the affair took place?

During 60 Minutes, we saw documents signed by Stormy denying an affair ever took place.

But the porn star claims she felt threatened into signing, claiming a member of Trump's team told her they could "make her life hell".

She said: "They made it sound like I had no choice.

"I felt intimidated and, honestly, bullied."

Her lawyer Michael Avenatti added: "If the President of the United States' fixer made it clear to me, either directly or indirectly, that I needed to sign it, and I was in the position of Stormy Daniels, I might sign those statements."

9. They had unprotected sex

Stormy says the pair had sex without protection.

Interviewer Anderson Cooper asked her: "You work in an industry where condom use is an issue. Did he use a condom?"

Stormy replied: "No.

"I honestly didn't say anything."

10. Did Trump's lawyer break the rules by paying Stormy 'hush money'?

Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitted paying Stormy $130,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but said he did it out of his own pocket.

However, Stormy's lawyer showed documents proving that Cohen used his Trump Organization email to set up the payment and received correspondence at Trump Tower.

Avenatti added: "People don't threaten people with $20 million lawsuits, that they're gonna take their home and take an extended vacation on the money they receive.

"People don't conduct themselves like this. They don't. And they shouldn't."

Trevor Potter, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, told the programme the payment was a "legal mess" and the amount paid was an "illegal" contribution to Trump's presidency campaign.
