Porn star in battle overtrump‘affair’ claims she was threatened with harm

LOS ANGELES: A porn actress who said she had sex with

Donald Trump before he became president has been threatened with physical harm, her attorney said.

Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has been seeking to invalidate a non-disclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election regarding her relationship with Trump, which she said began in 2006 and continued for about a year.

On Friday, Clifford’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, said his client had been “physically threatened”, but he didn’t provide details.

Clifford will discuss the threats during a segment on CBS’S 60 Minutes, scheduled to air later this month.“there’s the act and there’s the cover-up, and the American people are going to learn about both in the interview and beyond,” Avenatti said on MSNBC’S Morning Joe.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Friday she had no knowledge of the situation and hadn’t spoken to the president about it, but said “obviously we take the safety and security of any person seriously”, and “would condemn anyone threatening any individual”.

Clifford filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles last week that sought to invalidate the agreement so she could “set the record straight” and has offered to return the $130000 she was paid for agreeing not to discuss the relationship.

Clifford’s lawsuit claimed the “hush agreement” she signed in October 2016 was legally invalid because it was signed only by Clifford and Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, but was not signed by Trump.

The suit refers to her beginning an “intimate relationship” with Trump in 2006 that continued “into 2007”.

Trump married his current wife, Melania Trump, in 2005 and their son, Barron, was born in 2006. – Ap/african News Agency (ANA)
