PORN star Jessica Drake accused US President Donald Trump of sexual harassment a month before the 2016 US election.

CNN reports that less than a week later a mystery woman named “Angel Ryan” was listed in a secret settlement brokered by Mr Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

It appears the pair were unrelated but CNN says it has confirmed that Angel Ryan is in fact Jessica Drake.

Angel Ryan is mentioned as one of four people that Ms Daniels aka Stephanie Clifford, named in her non disclosure agreement as having told about an affair with Mr Trump.

Gloria Allred, Ryan’s lawyer, confirmed the link for CNN.

“Jessica Drake is still my client. She is Angel Ryan and the one whose name is in the settlement agreement,” Allred told CNN.

Allred declined to comment on Drake’s relationship to Daniels and why she knew of her affair with Trump.

Michael Cohen paid adult film star Ms Daniels $US130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair with Mr Trump.

Ms Daniels alleges that she and Mr Trump first met during a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006.

Ms Drake alleged she also met Mr Trump at the Lake Tahoe event, where he invited her to his hotel room.

She went with two other women because she said she didn’t feel comfortable going alone.

“He grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission,” Drake said during a press conference in Manhattan on October 22, 2016.

She says he offered to pay her for sex. Mr Trump has denied the allegations.

The meeting is said to have happened not long after Melania Trump gave birth to the US President’s son, Barron.

Ms Daniels filed a lawsuit against Mr Trump on Tuesday, alleging that her “hush agreement” should be invalidated because, while she and Mr Cohen signed it, Mr Trump never did.
