Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, passed a 2011 polygraph test in which she said she had unprotected sex with Donald Trump. The results were inconclusive as to whether Clifford was telling the truth when she claimed that Trump promised to get her on “The Apprentice.”Clifford’s ex-husband Michael Mosny also passed a polygraph test about her alleged affair with Trump. Polygraph tests, commonly called “lie detector tests,” supposedly detect whether or not a person is being truthful by measuring various physical responses, including heart rate and respiration. The American Psychological Association notes that the accuracy of polygraph tests is controversial, and that“most psychologists agree that there is little evidence that polygraph tests can accurately detect lies.”However, the tests are still used in situations like criminal investigations and federal employee screenings. Clifford’s attorney Michael Avenetti paid $25,000 for the rights to a video of her taking the test, the Journal reports.
