A porn star locked in a legal battle with Donald Trump has released a sketch of man she claims threatened her in a car park.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti has offered a $100,000 (£70,000) reward for information leading to the identification of the man, who is pictured in the drawing with a light beard and wearing a hoodie.
Ms Daniels appeared on the US daytime show "The View" on Tuesday to repeat her recollection of what allegedly happened on the night in 2011.
She told the ABC show that she was on her way to a fitness class in Las Vegas with her child when the unidentified man approached her.
The adult film actress said that the man looked like somebody's husband and was "sort of handsome".
She added that she did not tell police about the threat because she was afraid, and did not want to reveal her alleged sexual encounter with Mr Trump.
Ms Daniels continued: "I didn't tell my husband at the time, I was embarrassed.
"I didn't want him to think I was a bad mum or that I put my daughter in danger."
She told The View she was speaking out now because she is "tired of being threatened", and added: "I'm sorry, I'm done with being bullied."
Ms Daniels first told the story to 60 Minutes on the US channel CBS in March, where she claimed the man told her to "leave Trump alone. Forget the story".
The 39-year-old, real name is Stephanie Clifford, is fighting a 2016 non-disclosure agreement allegedly arranged by Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
She claims she was given $130,000 (£91,000) to keep quiet about having sex with married Mr Trump a decade earlier.
Mr Trump's lawyers are seeking at least $20m in damages from Ms Daniels for multiple violations of a non-disclosure agreement.
Ms Daniels' appearance on the ABC show came a day after she attended a hearing in a Manhattan federal court, where Mr Cohen sought to limit the ability of federal prosecutors to review the documents seized in 9 April raids on his home, office and hotel room.
The raids stem in part from a separate probe into possible collusion between Mr Trump's presidential campaign and Russia.
Donald Trump described the raid on Mr Cohen's office as an "attack on our country".
A source familiar with the raids said the FBI agents were also looking for information on payments to Ms Daniels.
Daniels has had to retain a team of bodyguards, as well as a tutor for her daughter.
In her CBS interview Ms Daniels made some bizarre claims about her time with Trump, including that she swatted him with a magazine and that he made her watch a shark documentary.
