The porn star whose bombshell claims about sex with Donald Trump have rocked his presidency desperately tried to sell her story for $200,000 ? nearly 50 percent more than the 'hush' money she received, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Stormy Daniels's manager made the rounds of celebrity magazines, television shows, and websites in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, hoping someone would bite.
She promised a story of Stormy's titillating sexcapade with the man who would soon be in the Oval Office.
But with polling day getting ever closer, and her chances of a payday getting more remote as Trump appeared doomed to lose to Hillary Clinton, Daniels gave up on her money chase and accepted the $130,000 that Trump attorney Michael Cohen had dangled in front of her in a bid to keep the story quiet.
EXCLUSIVE: How Stormy Daniels tried to sell story about her one-night-stand with Donald Trump for $200,000 THREE weeks before the election but worked out a deal with Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen after she got no takers
Stormy Daniels's manager offered her client's story to celebrity magazines, television shows and websites in the run-up to the 2016 election
The titillating tell all was peddled to the media around October 17, three weeks before the election
But the adult actress apparently had no takers as Hillary was expected to win at the time, and Stormy's story would have been worth a fraction of her asking price
Daniels then accepted the $130k from Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, who had made her the offer after Trump won the nomination
'It looks to me that she accepted Cohen's money because she could not get the money she wanted from anyone else,' one media executive said
Daniels told her version of her tryst with Trump to Anderson Cooper on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday
Stormy made it seem as though she did not seek to sell her story, telling Cooper: 'Suddenly people are reaching out to me again, offering me money. Large amounts of money'
Cohen insists he paid the money out of his own pocket and was not reimbursed by either the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization.
'It looks to me that she accepted Cohen's money because she could not get the money she wanted from anyone else,' one media executive said.
DailyMail.com was among the outlets approached by Stormy's manager Gina Rodriguez in October 2016. We turned her down.
Daniels told her version of her tryst with Trump to Anderson Cooper on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday. Cooper reported that she had sold her story to a tabloid magazine for $15,000 years before, but it did not run because of libel threats from Cohen and she was never paid.
After Trump won the Republican presidential nomination interest in Daniels's story grew and she claims she turned down offers to speak.
Stormy made it seem as though she did not seek to sell her story, telling Cooper: 'Suddenly people are reaching out to me again, offering me money. Large amounts of money. Was I tempted? Yes - I struggle with it,' she told Cooper.
Then, she claims, Cohen approached her with his $130,0000 offer.
But the fact is that Stormy's team was aggressively pursuing a deal to sell her story to the highest bidder.
During the 60 Minutes interview, Daniels, 39, said she had 'swatted' the future president's backside a couple of times with a copy of Trump Magazine and that they had had sex just once in a Nevada hotel suite.
Cooper did not ask her to elaborate on what the sex was like.
Daniels, 39, an adult film actress whose body of work includes The Witches of Breastwick, Camp Cuddlypines Powertool Massacre, and Spreading My Seed, mused to Cooper on whether she should now be speaking out.
She pointed out she was not being paid for the interview and when Cooper asked her if the notoriety would help her 'Make America Horny Again' tour of strip clubs, she replied that she could end up being shunned.
