Porn star Stormy Daniels' allegations of an affair with President Donald Trump are some of the most salacious to be made against a president.
Daniels, an adult film star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, says she had an affair with Trump at a Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament in 2006. Former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal recently made similar allegations against the president, who prior to taking office was accused of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen women. Trump denies all of the allegations against him.
While those allegations have garnered much media attention, and have followed the president throughout his first term, they are far from the only such allegations made against an occupant of the Oval Office. Trump is no stranger to such scandals, and neither is the presidency.
More than a third of the men who've occupied the Oval Office have been either accused of sexual misconduct, alleged to have had an affair, fathered a child out of wedlock with someone they were conducting such an affair with, or boasted of their extramarital sexual escapades.
Here's a history of the presidential sex scandal:
George Washington
The country's first president was alleged to have fathered children with a slave named Venus who lived on his family's Virginia estate. In 1999, The New York Times reported that the slave's descendants were seeking a DNA test to prove they were related to Washington.
Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson was accused of fathering children with a slave, Sally Hemings, during his first term in office. Jefferson's wife had died while he was vice president and he held a large plantation estate in Virginia. A 1998 DNA test linked two Hemings descendants to Jefferson.
Andrew Jackson
Jackson came under fire for his marriage to Rachel Donelson Robards because the two wed before she was legally divorced from her previous marriage.
