To the Editor:

Re “The Calm Before the Stormy,” by Frank Bruni (column, March 21): We have a former porn star, a former Playboy model and a former “Apprentice” contestant all credibly accusing a president of the United States of sexual predation. President Trump and his lawyers have denied any past improper sexual conduct with these women, who are among at least 19 women who have made accusations.

I know one of these 19 women personally, and she told me years ago of Mr. Trump’s advances, long before he was ever a candidate for the presidency. Mr. Trump has bragged about his exploits with women on many occasions, publicly and privately, and as we have now learned, large sums of money have been paid to keep some of these women from speaking out.

I believe the reason that Mr. Trump has not ranted and raged about Stormy Daniels is that she has the goods on the president, including her 2011 polygraph test results, and possibly photographs and tapes of their encounters, and Mr. Trump is beyond scared of what the reaction will be if these get released.

Mr. Trump’s payment to Ms. Daniels may have been in violation of campaign finance laws, and were certainly in violation of his marital vows to Melania.

I for one cannot wait for Sunday’s broadcast of the Stormy Daniels interview on “60 Minutes”!
