Mitch kills bill aiming to shield Mueller from ax
THINGS ARE getting sketchy.
The porn star who claims she had an affair with President Trump unveiled a sketch Tuesday of the man she says threatened her to stay quiet about the alleged affair.
Stormy Daniels revealed the image on ABC’s “The View,” sharing the frightening story of a strange man approaching her in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 and warning her to “leave Mr. Trump alone.”
Daniels said she was stunned when the unidentified man looked at her infant daughter and threatened her.
“I remember him saying, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It would be a shame if something happened to her mom,’ ” Daniels said Tuesday. “‘Forget about this story, leave Mr. Trump alone.’ Then he turned and walked away.”
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she did not report the threat at the time because she would have had to reveal the alleged affair and she was afraid. Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, said they are offering a $131,000 reward for information on the mystery man — who many on social media noted looked like Trump supporter Tom Brady. “Stormy Daniels has released a sketch of the man she says threatened her to keep quiet and . . . it’s Tom Brady,” tweeted radio personality Dan O’Donnell. Others likened the image to actor Willem Dafoe and rocker Jon Bon Jovi. After a Twitter posting showed the sketch next to a photo of short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, he responded, “I thought the description said he was 6’ 2”! I am all good.” Avenatti asked that anyone with information to send a note to the email address idthethug@gmail. com WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday thwarted a bipartisan effort to protect special counsel Robert Mueller’s job, saying he will not hold a floor vote on the legislation even if it is approved next week in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
McConnell said the bill is unnecessary because President Trump would not sign the bill, and he doesn’t believe Trump will fire Mueller.
“We’ll not be having this on the floor of the Senate,” McConnell said on Fox News.
His comments came amid widespread opposition to the bill among members of his caucus, with several GOP senators saying the bill is unconstitutional. Others said it’s simply not good politics to try and tell Trump what to do, likening the legislation to “poking the bear.”
The bipartisan legislation was introduced last week as Trump publicly criticized Mueller, who is investigating potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign, as well as possible obstruction of justice by the President.
Trump said last week that the Mueller investigation is “an attack on our country” and is “corrupt.”
