CBS sets air date for Stormy Daniels 60 Minutes interview


The 60 Minutes interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels will air on March 25, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, says she had an affair with President Trump a decade ago, and she's arguing in court that she's free to discuss it because while she signed a nondisclosure agreement just days before the 2016 election, Trump never did. The interview has already been taped, and although Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, tweeted that Trump's lawyers were trying to stop it from airing, people at CBS told The Washington Post no one from the White House or Trump Organization has attempted to block the broadcast.
