Woman named in Stormy Daniels' ‘hush agreement’ is another porn star accusing Trump of sexual assault

A mystery woman named in Stormy Daniels' non-disclosure agreement is a fellow porn star who publically accused Donald Trump of sexual assault during the campaign, her attorney said Thursday.
Jessica Drake, who accused Trump of forcibly touching and kissing her over a decade ago, is referred to as "Angel Ryan" in a hush agreement that Stormy Daniels signed in exchange for $130,000 from Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen. Drake was listed in the agreement along with three other people who knew of Trump's extramarital affair with Daniels.
Lawyer Gloria Allred confirmed to the Daily News that Ryan is in fact Drake.
Allred declined to comment on Drake's relationship to Daniels and why she knew of her affair with Trump.
Representatives for Daniels did not respond to emailed questions.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a lawsuit against Trump on Tuesday, alleging that her "hush agreement" should be invalidated because, while she and Cohen signed it, Trump never did.
If successful, Daniels would be free to tell the world about her tryst with the President.
Daniels has been dominating national headlines since it was revealed that she had a year-long sexual relationship with Trump that started just a few weeks after First Lady Melania gave birth to their son, Barron.
Daniels alleges that she and Trump first met during a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006.
In a stunning turn of events, that's the same golf tournament that Drake claims Trump sexually assaulted her at.
Drake, who's also an X-rated actress, came forward with allegations against Trump after a damning hot mic recording surfaced of him bragging about being able to "grab" women "by the pussy" because he's a "star."
Drake alleged Trump invited her to his hotel room during the Lake Tahoe event. She went with two other women because she said she didn't feel comfortable going alone.
"He grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission," Drake said during a press conference in Manhattan on Oct. 22, 2016.
Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, admitted last month that he paid Daniels $130,000 a few days before the 2016 election, but refused to say what the payment was for and whether he was reimbursed by Trump or his campaign.
The attorney was spotted at Mar-A-Lago last weekend, as Trump was also there heading a series of Republican fund-raisers. Trump and Cohen could have violated campaign-finance laws if the President in any way coordinated, or knew of, the payment to Daniels.
Trump, who's accused of sexual misconduct by nearly two dozen women, has yet to personally address Daniels' affair claims. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered the first White House confirmation that a hush agreement exists between Trump and Daniels when she told reporters Wednesday that a ruling had been made about it "in the President's favor."
EDITOR’S NOTE: Those who would dismiss these allegations because Daniels and Drake are porn actresses would also dismiss a prostitute’s claim of being raped because she is a prostitute.

As legal representative of Trump, I would think his attorney's signature on the agreement is binding.
