First Lady Melania Trump will not be joining her husband when he heads to the Swiss Alps for the annual Davos gathering – after days of reports about an alleged affair between her husband and an adult film star.
The first lady’s office had initially said she should join president and the bevy of cabinet secretaries jetting to Davos for the annual gathering of billionaires, industrialists, and investors.
‘It was determined there were too many scheduling and logistical issues, so Mrs. Trump will not travel to Davos,’ her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, told DailyMail.com.
CNN reported that that the first lady had planned to go and then cancelled the trip.

The news comes as President Trump appears to make his first public appearance since to the government shutdown – a period that also included multiple reports about claims by adult film star Stormy Daniels that she had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen arranged a $130,000 payment to Clifford weeks before the election in an arrangement that prohibits her from talking about an alleged sexual relationship with Trump.
Cohen provided a statement from Daniels denying receiving any ‘hush money.’

Porn actress Stormy Daniels said in a 2011 interview she could recognize Donald Trump’s ‘junk’ if she had to, insisting that she had a sexual fling with him in 2006
Cohen said President Trump ‘once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels.’
The first lady accompanied her husband to Mar-a-Lago after the Stormy Daniels story broke, although she was not seen with him. She sent out a tweet on the anniversary of Trump’s inauguration, sending out an image of herself and a military escort, but not of the president.
Daniels, who has more than 150 film credits to her name including starring roles in ‘Good Will Humping’ and ‘Operation Desert Stormy’, said she’d met Trump at his private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in July 2006 after meeting him at a celebrity golf tournament.
Stephanie Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels, claimed in a 2011 interview with InTouch magazine that she had a sexual affair with Trump following a celebrity golf tournament.
The magazine published the interview and a transcript following the Journal’s report.

The alleged affair took place while Melania Trump was pregnant with son, Baron
Daniels and Trump had dinner in his room, but she quickly noticed something odd, according to the transcript of the InTouch interview released.
The adult movie star said that night did not end in sex after he broke the news to her that he hadn’t been able to get her an appearance on NBC.
But she told In Touch that they had slept together on a previous occasion, shortly after the birth of Trump’s youngest son, Baron.
‘I can definitely describe his junk perfectly, if I ever have to,’ Daniels said of Trump, as she described the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the future president in a hotel room at the Harrah’s Casino in Lake Tahoe.
‘The sex was nothing crazy,’ Daniels recalled. ‘He wasn’t like, chain me to the bed or anything. It was one position.’
She said Trump ‘definitely seemed smitten’ after their alleged romp. ‘He was like, ‘I wanna see you again, when can I see you again?’
Daniels told ‘In Touch’ that Trump, then a reality TV star, lured her into conversations and sex with a promise that he would get her a role on his show, ‘The Apprentice.’
‘I didn’t have any unrealistic expectations of actually being on the show… So now I wonder if the whole thing was just a f***ing lie,’ she said, to get her into bed. ‘And I guess it worked.’
Cashing in on the publicity, Stormy Daniels stripped off for the start of her ‘Make America Horny Again’ tour in South Carolina Saturday night.
