Porn actress sues Trump

-

ADULT film actress Stormy Daniels is suing US President Donald Trump for defamation, saying he lied by tweeting that her claim of being threatened if she discussed an alleged sexual encounter with him was a “total con job”.

The lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan escalates Ms Daniels’ litigation with Mr Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who paid her $US130,000 ($A172,000) before the 2016 US presidenti­al election to keep quiet about the alleged sexual encounter a decade earlier.

Mr Trump’s lawyers and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
