Stormy says att’y blab means she can tell all
STORMY WEATHER is brewing for President Trump — his alleged porn star paramour says she’s free to rain down information on their relationship.
Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen acknowledged Tuesday night that he paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 out of his own pocket just before Election Day last year.
A manager for Daniels told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Daniels believes Trump’s lawyer invalidated a nondisclosure agreement by publicly discussing the payment.
Gina Rodriguez says the actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is now free to discuss her alleged 2006 extramarital affair with Trump.
“Everything is off now, and Stormy is going to tell her story,” Rodriguez said.
Daniels has played coy when asked about Trump since news of the hush money broke in January, although she dished about him in a 2011 interview with InTouch that surfaced publicly soon after.
She said Trump had chased her around his hotel room in his “tighty-whities” before they had generic sex.
Cohen broke his silence about the payoff after the watchdog group Common Cause urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate.
According to The Daily Beast, Cohen is also shopping a book proposal that would touch on Daniels’ story.
In his statement Tuesday night, Cohen said, “Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction,” and “neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly.”
Cohen maintained that the exchange was “lawful” and “not a campaign contribution expenditure by anyone,” although some legal experts have disagreed.
The lawyer also said the payment doesn’t mean there was an affair.
“Just because something isn’t true doesn’t mean that it can’t cause you harm or damage,” said Cohen, who’s worked for the Trump Organization for more than a decade.
Raoul Felder, a top Manhattan civil lawyer, said Daniels might find herself in choppy legal waters if she does dish on the President.
“If Stormy believes Mr. Cohen has violated the (nondisclosure) agreement — an extremely questionable proposition in the first place — it certainly does not give her license to violate the agreement herself,” he said.
If she does blab, “she could be liable for extraordinary damages measured by the mischief caused by violating the terms of the document,” and have to repay the $130,000, he added.
“It might be not just a storm but wind, hail and even a couple of tornadoes hitting her,” Felder said.
Daniels has said the affair took place in 2006, not long after Trump’s wife, Melania, gave birth to their son, Barron.
The “Good Will Humping” star has been playing off her new notoriety by embarking on a “Make America Horny Again” strip club tour. It’s scheduled to touch down at Gossip in Melville, L.I., on Feb. 24.
