More details have emerged in the controversy over whether adult film actor Stormy Daniels had an affair with President Donald Trump in 2006, shortly after the first lady gave birth to his youngest son.

Mother Jones obtained an email sent between political operatives in 2009, that discussed Daniels' alleged admission to one consultant that Trump 'had her spank him with a Forbes magazine.'

At the time, Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, was considering running for US Senate in Louisiana and Trump's name came up as a potential donor for her campaign.

The issue over whether Trump and Daniels did, or did not, have an affair made headlines after the Wall Street Journal reported on January 12 that Michael Cohen, a lawyer for Trump, arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels to keep quiet over the alleged affair.

The payment was allegedly arranged one month before the 2016 presidential election. 

Daniels denied that she engaged in any type of sexual relationship with Trump, through a statement released by Cohen.

Trump has also denied the alleged affair.

But no one has denied a payment was made from Trump to Daniels. 

In this latest development, a consultant, who asked Mother Jones not to be named, told the site that he wrote an email to Andrea Dube, a Democratic political consultant based in New Orleans, informing Dube that Trump was a contact in Daniels in phone, and therefore a potential source of campaign contributions.

Trump, shown here in 2009, was identified as a potential donor for Daniels' campaign at that time because his number was in her cell phone, according to Mother Jones 

Dube, who confirmed she did exchange the emails in question, wrote back, 'Donald Trump? In her cell phone?'

'Yep,' the other consultant replied in the email chain. 

'She says one time he made her sit with him for three hours watching shark week. Another time he had her spank him with a Forbes magazine.'

The anonymous consultant told Mother Jones that Daniels told him the magazine she used had Trump on the cover.

Trump was featured on the cover of a Fall 2006 issue of Forbes, pictured with two of his children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka.  

This latest detail comes out after In Touch released, on Wednesday, a previously unpublished interview with Daniels from 2011 where she reportedly describes her sexual encounters with Trump, which the article said happened in 2006.

Daniels took and passed a polygraph test in 2011 as she talked about her 'textbook generic' sexual relations with a married Trump more than a decade ago, In Touch Weekly claimed.

'We had really good banter. He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter,' Daniels rold the tabloid in a story that In Touch released this week, on the heels of other news reports about the president and the adult entertainer.

Her alleged affair with the future president began at the American Century celebrity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada, in July 2006, several months after Trump's youngest son was born to his wife, Melania Trump.

The now 39-year-old adult actress described their initial sexual encounter with the billionaire businessman as 'nothing crazy' and admitted to the tabloid the two didn't use protection. 

'It was one position, what you would expect someone his age to do,' Daniels said.

'I actually don't even know why I did it, but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, "Please, don't try to pay me." And then I remember thinking, "But I bet if he did, it would be a lot,"' Daniels said.

Just before the In Touch story came out, a reporter for Slate detailed conversations he had with Daniels in 2016, during a time which he characterizes as her uncertainty over whether Trump would pay her the promised hush money. 

Jacob Weisberg, writing for the online publication Tuesday, explained that he had pursued the story between August and October of 2016, shortly before the presidential election, with Daniels personally confirming the rumor and setting Weisberg up with associates who corroborated Daniels' account as well. 

She told the journalist that her lawyer Keith Davidson, along with Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, had worked out a six-figure fee, though the presidential candidate was dragging his feet on the final details, which is seemingly why she confirmed the relationship to a reporter, using it as an insurance policy.

Daniels also told Weisberg that she wanted money for her story, though Slate doesn't pay its sources.

The journalist said he tried convincing her to come forward anyway, but then she stopped talking to him.

'And then, about a week before the election, Daniels stopped responding to calls and text messages,' Weisberg wrote. 'A friend of hers told me Daniels had said she'd taken the money from Trump after all.'

Weisberg never published what he knew from Daniels until today.

'I considered publishing the story without her cooperation,' he said. 'After all, she had never said anything was off the record. But if I did so, she would presumably disavow what she had told me, and the only people I had corroborating her story were sources Daniels herself had pointed me to.'

'For the most important aspect of the story – the contract for her silence – I also lacked independent corroboration,' the Slate writer said.

Weisberg said Daniels sent him a contract that referred to her as 'Peggy Peterson' and to Trump as 'David Dennison.' Two other pseudonyms included the names 'David Delucia' and 'RCI,' the Slate reporter wrote. 

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Cohen set up a Delaware LLC in September 2016, called 'Resolutions Consultants, LLC,' a name that is rather similar to 'RCI,' the fourth pseudonym Weisberg cites in his piece for Slate. 

That LLC was dissolved in October 2016, when Cohen created another company called Essential Consultants, LLC, for the purposes of transferring a $130,000 payment to Daniels, the Wall Street Journal reported. 

CNN also reported that Fox News had on the record statements from individuals confirming a relationship between Daniels and Trump, leading up to the 2016 election, but that editors 'killed it.' 

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Cohen set up a second Delaware LLC in October 2016 for the purposes of transferring a $130,000 payment to Daniels, but had originally planned to use the company called 'Resolutions Consultants, LLC'
