Reports that porn star Stormy Daniels had been paid to keep quiet about an alleged affair she had with President Trump over a decade ago blindsided and infuriated First Lady Melania Trump, according to a report.
The First Lady has kept a low profile since the Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen, the President’s lawyer, paid Daniels $130,000 to cover up the affair in exchange for her silence just before the 2016 election.
She was furious with Trump amid the payoff reports, sources close to the couple told The New York Times.
Melania Trump was absent from her husband’s trip to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum last week — but will be attending the President’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday, according to The Times.

After skipping the Davos forum, she visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. before heading to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., Thursday.
There, she spent part of her trip relaxing at a spa, The Times reported.
Melania Trump had defended her husband even after he bragged about "grabbing women by the p---y" in an "Access Hollywood" tape or when multiple women accused him of sexual harassment.

But the First Lady and her team were silent after the Daniels story broke. Her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham later defended the First Lady after rumors swirled about her whereabouts.
“The laundry list of salacious & flat-out false reporting about Mrs. Trump by tabloid publications & TV shows has seeped into "main stream media" reporting. She is focused on her family & role as FLOTUS — not the unrealistic scenarios being peddled daily by the fake news,” Grisham tweeted Friday.
