According to Stormy Daniel’s lawyer, Trump’s threats were totally bogus: “These threats were all premised on a giant lie,”
September 10, 2018PNT commentary: This political situation is very interesting – and is possibly very telling in regards to the position other pornstars, adult entertainers and sex workers may have found themselves in over the years when it’s come to time they may have spent with wealthy individuals. Exactly how many pornstars have been threatened by lawyers in regards to keeping their mouths shut? Women such as Samantha Saint, Bree Olsen and Capri Anderson immediately come to mind…
President Donald Trump can’t just walk away from a $130,000 hush deal with Stormy Daniels after having conducted a six-month public relations campaign to discredit and bully the adult film actress to keep her quiet, her lawyer said.
Trump and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, both filed court papers in recent days saying they wouldn’t try to enforce the October 2016 contract to keep Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, from talking about a 2006 sexual encounter she says she had with Trump, or challenge claims that it wasn’t valid. They also want Daniels to return the money.
Daniels’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said in a filing Monday that their change of heart was evidence Trump and Cohen had deceived the court and the public by insisting the hush payment was valid and enforceable. Daniels was initially threatened with having to pay more than $20 million in damages for talking.
“These threats were all premised on a giant lie,” Avenatti said in the filing in Los Angeles federal court. “If they are now to be believed, Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen never had a good faith basis to assert that they would be able to enforce the settlement agreement.”
