Donald Trump reacted to the news that adult film actor Stormy Daniels met Wednesday with prosecutors investigating hush money paid to her on the former President's behalf. He, of course, demeaned her by calling her "Horseface." Again.

"I did NOTHING wrong in the "Horseface" case. I see she showed up in New York today trying to drum up some publicity for herself," he said. "I haven't seen or spoken to her since I took a picture with her on a golf course, in full golf gear including a hat, close to 18 years ago. She knows nothing about me other than her conman lawyer, Avanatti, and convicted liar and felon, jailbird Michael Cohen, may have schemed up. Never had an affair with her, just another false acquisition by a SleazeBag. Witch Hunt!"

So, if the former President hadn't seen her in 18 years, what was the $130,000 payment in 2016 for? And he keeps using the word "affair" when it was allegedly a one-time sexual encounter. And the sexual (alleged!) encounter occurred in 2006. This feels like a badly scripted soap opera.

Michael Cohen, the former Trump attorney, and fixer who orchestrated the payment gave a second day of testimony before a New York grand jury looking into the matter.

Stormy took to Twitter to thank her attorney, and she mocked Trump for typically spelling her name wrong.

Trump responded to the news close to midnight. It appears that he's not sleeping well. Good!
