mj, what do we know about this polygraph test that's taken by stormy daniels? >> well, brianna, this is pretty incredib incredible, even by 2018 standards. we now have a copy of the poll hi graph test that stormy daniels took back in 2011. this was a part of her interview with life and style magazine. she was talking about her alleged affair with donald trump in 2006 and as a part of this interview they made her take this test to try to determine if she was telling the truth. she was asked two questions, one of the questions was, did you have vaginal interest course with donald trump? and the second question, did you have unprotected sex with donald trump? she answered yes to both of those questions and the person who administered the polygraph test said at the time that there was no reason to question that she was telling the truth and in other words, he determined that she was telling the truth when she had unprotected vaginal intercourse with done add trump. to add to the drama, there is video of her, stormy daniels taking this polygraph test. her lawyer say

we now have the results of polygraph tests taken by the porn star. they indicate her claim of a past affair with president trump is true. and tonight stormy daniels is tweeting about whether she slept with mr. trump. >>> and playboy model sues. another woman who allegedly had an affair with mr. trump is going to court, fighting to be released from an agreement to stay silent about their relationship. will the president pay a price for these multiple lawsuits and scandals? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news this hour. the white house is doubling down on its denial that president trump is considering or even discussing firing special counsel robert mueller. after launching a new tirade against the russia investigation, the president could soon find himself face-to-face with mueller or a member of his team. i'll get reaction from senator angus king. he is a member of the senate intelligence committee. and our correspond

my client took this polygraph test in may of 2011, may 19th, 2011. she was asked specific questions. she passed with flying colors, as the polygraph report that we produced shows. so we are going to let the american public take this piece of evidence together with your interview with her this sunday on "60 minutes." they are going to determine whether she's telling the truth, whether she's credible, and i'm confident that after they view that interview and after they view this evidence, they are going to conclude that what they have been told by mr. cohen and denials, if you can call them denials, from the white house, are simply baseless and false. >> david, michael cohen has claimed that he paid this $130,000 in hush money out of his own pocket from a home equity line of credit. he did it, had nothing to do with the trump organization, nothing to do with donald trump personally or the white house. does any attorney ever pay $130,000 out of their own pocket? >> first of all, we keep labeling it as hush money. it's pursuant to a nondisclosure agreeme

because it's first time seeing details of that polygraph test. was for a reminder stormy daniels did with life and style magazine back in 2011. interviewed her. and then to try to determine whether she was telling the truth made her take the polygraph. two questions, one did you have vaginal intercourse with president trump 2006 and sex? >> and she scienced both to yes. and an according to the person administered the test, there was no reason to question she was telling the truth. there is also video of this test being taken. michael avenatti stormy daniels lawyer says he paid $25,000 to it be in possession of this video. and he says so this can be kept safely during this litigation so that it is not altered or destroyed. >> so obviously that's significant because this whole litigation is about her being able to tell her story and the nondisclosure agreement. which we now know was david dennison the other signature is indeed donald trump. there is another development for the president today, this is third one defamation suit filed against him by

i heard that stormy had taken a polygraph.l be honest with you, i was relieved, because it's very difficult to fight those results. it's difficult to cheat them. and so i knew at that point people were going to have a very hard time discrediting our truths. >> what do you mean, people have a very hard time -- what are you talking about? explain that. >> i'm -- thanks to michael cohen initially coming out and consistently denying that any type of relationship or that anything had even happened in lake tahoe, i'm constantly called a liar, i'm threatened, i'm harassed, even after my earlier cnn appearance today, i received more threats via social media, even someone suggesting that they would bomb the cnn studios because we're talking. so we're getting threats on a daily basis, just for speaking out. >> did you -- have you alerted authorities to that? do you take them seriously? do you think they're hollow? >> i believe some may be hollow, but for the most part, when people put those kinds of things into words, you have to take t

here is a photo from a video of that polygraph test.ygraph report shows she was asked at least two specific questions. one was did you have vaginal intercourse with donald trump around july 2006, and the second was did you have unprotected sex with donald trump in july 2006. stormy daniels answered yes to both. the person who administered this test said he had no reason to question that she was telling the truth. in other words, he determined that she did, in fact, have unprotected vaginal sex with donald trump. as i alluded to there is video apparently when he was taking the test. michael avenatti saying he paid $25,000 to purchase this video because he wants to make sure this video is protected during the litigation and not altered or destroyed. keep in mind, too, there could be more news coming in the next couple days, the "60 minutes" interview startito air on sunda >> that's case number one. case two has to do with this former playboy model karen mcdougal. what's going on here? >> this is along the themes of a woman who wants to sp

but certainly the polygraph is out there, not for the legal case. stormy daniels and her lawyer have been doing -- is not about the legal case. highly technical case. donald trump himself did intervene in the arbitration last week to say that he wants damages. that's an admission that he was a party to the agreement which the original defense is that he wasn't a party to the agreement. as we're talking about the polygraph test, when it happened and donald trump painted himself back into a corner because he can't really respond without admitting that it happened, which seems to be something that he's not willing to do. >> now he's definitely listeninged to this case. then there's this case, mark geragos, we've been talking about these two other stories involving donald trump, these other two women, one of whom this former playboy playmate, karen mcdougal, who was paid by the national enquirer to get her story out by her and donald trump and instead it was a catch and kill, that she was able to get the story out now. she would like to, number one. and

all i know is what i see on the cop shows, and on the cop shows they say that polygraph evidence is notle. but what he's done is, and we all know about it. >> there is the court of law and the court of public opinion. normally polygraphs are not admissible in court because they are believed to be a questionable liability. however, they're used by investigators and used by the fbi all the time, so depending on the quality of the examiner, there can be some value to a polygraph. nevertheless, in the court of public opinion, now it's out there, and i think some people see some credence in polygraph exams, so i think it's likely to influence public opinion. >> ashley, i know you've been covering this man for a long time, but it is bracing to go back and hear the language he just used to talk about these women as a group. and all of this, of course, adds to the din, the white house that didn't need to be fighting a battle on a second front other than russia, and this one doesn't get any more personal. >> that's exactly right. what's so striking about this is for those of us who covered him o

he says it shows daniels taking a polygraph back in 20-11... the polygraph test report shows the examiner believed daniels was telling the truth on two questions where she said she had sexual relations with trump in 2006. however, a third response alleging trump offered daniels a spot on the t-v show "the apprentice" was ruled inconclusive. president trump has denied that an affair took place. avenatti also confirms that he bought also confirms that he bought the video and entire file of daniels taking the polygraph for 25-thousand dollars. he says it was done to ensure the information would not be altered or destroyed.
