Angel Ryan, who is actually porn star Jessica Drake, accused then-candidate Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual contact in 2016 after the release of the Access Hollywood tape. Based on the court documents filed by Stormy Daniel’s lawyer Michael Avenatti earlier this week, Angel Ryan aka Jessica Drake, is named in the ‘Hush Agreement’ as one of four people Daniel’s told about her and Trump’s 2006-2007 affair. The four people were named has having “confidential information” about Trump and Daniels’ relationship. Daniels’ real name is Stephanie Clifford. In the non-disclosure agreement that she and Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen signed – which Trump did not – she is known with the alias Peggy Peterson (PP) and Trump’s alias is David Dennison (DD).
Drake accused Trump of having made unwanted sexual advances in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred a month before the presidential election at the same time Daniels was preparing to come forward following the Access Hollywood tape when stopped by Trump and his lawyer Cohen and signed the be-quiet agreement. Problem is, DD or Trump never signed it.
“When we entered the room he grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission,” Drake said during a news event with Allred. Trump denied knowing her at the time but she is named in the ‘Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release; Assignment of Copyright and Non-Disparagement Agreement.’ In other words, Trump said he did not know Drake/Ryan then but days later, her name appeared in the ‘Hush Agreement’ between Trump, Daniels and Trump’s lawyer Cohen. What Daniels may have told her, per the agreement, was to remain confidential. The point is moot though, Daniels lawyer Avenatti maintains, because without Trump’s signature, the gag document has no legal standing and is in effect, worthless. He’s asked a judge to stipulate to that in his case against Trump on Stormy Daniels’ behalf.

In a 2016 statement, Drake said Trump’s alleged behavior “… is not acceptable behavior for anyone — much less a presidential candidate. His words and actions are a huge testament to his character — that of uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement and being a sexual assault apologist.”
Drake said after she left Trump’s room and returned to her own, she got a call from a man on Trump’s behalf. “He said Donald wanted me to come back upstairs to his suite. I indicated I did not wish to return. Then Trump himself called Drake and asked her to come to his hotel room again for dinner and a party; she declined. She said Trump then asked, “What do you want? How much?” She said she didn’t want to go to his room. Then received another call with an offer of $10,000. She said she told Trump she had to go to work, “as an excuse” so he’d stop calling. She was offered use of his private jet to return to Los Angeles for work but only if she came upstairs to his room first. She declined.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said repeatedly that President Trump insists all the women are lying.
“Donald Trump’s official position, as his spokeswoman Sarah Sanders recently clarified in a White House press briefing, is that the 20 women accusing him of assault and harassment are lying.”
Well, someone is lying, but it’s not those 20 women.
Trump said in an impromptu briefing in October of 2017, “All I can say is it’s totally fake news. It’s just fake. It’s fake,” he said. “It’s made-up stuff, and it’s disgraceful what happens. But that’s [what] happens in the world of politics.”
