Donald Trump once again attacked the physical appearance of adult film star Stormy Daniels when she met with prosecutors as part of an investigation into hush money paid to her.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Daniels a “horsehead”—an insult he’s used for the past five years—while denying that he had a relationship with her.

Investigators are looking into a $130,000 payment made to Daniels by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen on behalf of the former president to keep secret an alleged affair between the adult film star and Trump in the run up to the election in 2016.

On Wednesday, Daniels answered questions from prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office looking into allegations that the hush money amounted to improper campaign contributions, or whether any state laws were violated. for paying Cohen the money he paid Daniels.

“I did NOTHING wrong in the ‘Horseface’ case. I see he showed up in New York today trying to drum up some publicity for himself,” Trump wrote.

“I haven’t seen or spoken to him since I photographed him on a golf course, in full golf gear with a hat, close to 18 years ago. He doesn’t know anything about me other than his conman lawyer , [Michael] Avanatti, and the convicted liar and felon, jailbird Michael Cohen, may have planned. Never had a relationship with him, just a wrong take of a SleazeBag. Witch Hunt!”

Avenatti is Daniels’ former attorney who was sentenced in June 2022 to four years in prison for defrauding her of hundreds of thousands of dollars in book proceeds. In December 2022, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to embezzling millions of dollars from four of his clients.

Cohen also appeared for his final day of testimony on Wednesday. The lawyer, who was sentenced in 2018 in connection with the hush payments, has since become a vocal critic of Trump but has denied that he is out for revenge against the former president.

“It’s not about him. It’s about holding responsibility, truth to power, and everything else in between,” Cohen said, via the Associated Press.

Trump and his lawyers said the former president was a “victim of extortion” and was forced to pay the money to Daniels, a claim denied by Daniels’ legal team.

On Tuesday, Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told NewsNation that “it’s becoming more and more likely” that Trump could be indicted as part of the hush money investigation.

Trump first publicly referred to Daniels as a “horse-face” while he was president in 2018 after a federal judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit he filed against her

“Great, I can now go after Horseface and his 3rd rate attorney in the Great State of Texas. He will confirm the letter he signed! He knows nothing about me, a total con,” Trump tweeted in October 2018.

The former adult film star later blasted Trump while making a teasing reference to his penis size.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce your president. In addition to his…umm…shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, misogyny and lack of self-control AGAIN on Twitter! And maybe a penchant for bestiality,” Daniels tweeted. “Game on, Tiny.”

Daniels was reached for comment by email.
