PORN ACTRESS HAD SEX WITH TRUMP, SAYS HER LAWYER
LOS ANGELES: The lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels said on Wednesday that she had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump and wants to nullify a “hush agreement” so the public can decide “who’s telling the truth”.
Michael Avenatti filed a lawsuit on behalf of Daniels on Tuesday seeking to toss out the confidential settlement she signed days before the 2016 election.
Avenatti made the rounds of the morning talk shows on Wednesday to explain the legal move by Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
Asked if Daniels had a sexual relationship with Trump, Avenatti immediately replied, “Yes.”
The White House has dodged questions about whether allegations of the affair are true, claiming the matter was dealt with during the campaign.
As part of the lawsuit filed with a California court seeking to declare the non-disclosure agreement null and void, Avenatti released a copy of the settlement.
It shows that Daniels received a $130,000 payment from a company known as Essential Consultants LLC in return for her silence. But Trump never signed it, providing the basis for Avenatti’s attempt to have it thrown out and release Daniels from her obligations.
THE LAWSUIT ALLEGES THAT DANIELS BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH TRUMP IN THE SUMMER OF 2006 AND THAT IT CONTINUED WELL INTO 2007.
