Donald Trump has long been associated with sex scandals and extramarital affairs, the sort of thing that used to dominate the New York tabloids throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His assignation with a porn star, Stormy Daniels, even led to his criminal conviction in New York last year.
Whether Trump has continued such behavior during his time in national politics is unclear, and there don’t appear to have been any solid news reports of such affairs since Trump started running for president a decade ago.
However, according to a new book, Trump did once offer his bed on his plane to a female member of Congress.
The new revelations reveal how Trump reportedly offered a female congresswoman his bed, as long as she kept it a secret from his wife.

The Daily Beast reported this week that, according to the upcoming book Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power by Alex Isenstadt, Trump was hosting Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on his jet in 2023. Rep. Luna, who was pregnant then, was “feeling unwell.”
“If you need a bed to lay down in, there’s one here on the plane. If you feel sick and you need to lay there, you can lay on it,” the then-candidate told Luna, per the book. “Just don’t tell Melania. She doesn’t like other women on my bed,” Trump added, although it was characterized as a joke.
According to the Beast, this has added to speculation about exactly what the status of the president and first lady’s marriage is. Melania was not present much on the campaign trail during Trump’s 2024 presidential run and did not give a speech at the Republican Convention.
However, she has continued as an active First Lady and has been participating in more outside projects, including an autobiography last year and an authorized documentary film by exiled Hollywood director Brett Ratner, coming later this year, for which Amazon reportedly paid $40 million.
Luna, meanwhile, has continued as an extreme Trump loyalist, even by the standards of Republicans in Congress. Most recently, she was flogging dodgy conspiracy theories about government officials destroying Jeffrey Epstein-related files and introducing a bill called the Stopping High-level Record Elimination and Destruction (SHRED) Act of 2025. Destroying files without permission, if you’re a government official, is presumably already illegal.
