Stormy sues over Trump ‘con’ tweet
BY CATHERINE LUCEY PORN actress Stormy Daniels is suing President Trump for defamation, it was revealed yesterday.
She said she was threatened by a man in a Las Vegas car park to drop her allegations of an affair with Trump.
But earlier this month, Trump tweeted: “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!”
A complaint filed at court in New York yesterday said the tweet was “false and defamatory”.
The lawsuit is the latest move from Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, who is already suing to be released from a nondisclosure deal she agreed to before the 2016 election in exchange for $130,000. BY GRAHAM HISCOTT A MEGA merger of Sainsbury’s and Asda will ramp up a supermarket price war but put jobs at risk.
Bosses yesterday vowed to slash prices on everyday items by 10 per cent if the shock deal is approved.
But unions and MPs warned of the fallout from the £12billion merger on workers and suppliers.
The combined firm would leapfrog Tesco to become Britain’s biggest supermarket group, with £51billion of sales, 2800 stores and 330,000 workers.
Sainsbury’s chief Mike Coupe, who will head the new business, promised there would be “no store closures”.
Asda chief Roger Burnley insisted: “Job losses is not part of this equation.”
However, industry experts said the Competition and Markets Authority could make them sell dozens of stores.
There are also concerns about jobs at suppliers, who will shoulder a big chunk of the planned £500million in cost savings. GMB general secretary Tim Roache said: “Hundreds of thousands of workers stand to be affected.”
And the Unite union said they were “sceptical” of the firms’ job reassurances.
General secretary Len McCluskey said: “It is not just store workers who could be under threat but the thousands who work in distribution and logistics.”
