This tweet by the adult film star came after the news of the US's ex-president, Donald Trump's indictment. Trump's case centres on a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the final days of the 2016 presidential campaign. Daniel, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has claimed that she has had "an affair with Donald Trump in 2006", reported Sky news. However, this has been denied by the former US president. 

Who is Stormy Daniels and what is Trump accused of? 

In 2016 when Donal Trump was running for president, Daniels had offered to sell her story to the press. At that time, Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen was aware of her plans and hushed her with the payment of $130,000. After Trump was elected, he reimbursed Cohen by paying him more than double the original amount. He continued to deny the affair, however. According to a Sky News report,  it has been alleged that Michael Cohen has also made a second payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal who said she had an extramarital sexual encounter with Trump.
