Stormy Daniels accuses Trump attorney of defamation

Source: Washington Post

Stormy Daniels ramped up her legal battle against President Trump on Monday, alleging in court that his personal attorney Michael Cohen defamed her by insinuating that she lied about an affair with Trump more than a decade ago.

Daniels amended her existing lawsuit against Trump, adding Cohen as a defendant in the pending case. The expansion of the lawsuit in a California federal court comes one day after the adult-film actress’s widely watched interview on “60 Minutes.”

She has alleged that she had a sexual relationship with Trump in 2006 and signed a nondisclosure agreement shortly before the 2016 election. She says she received $130,000 for her silence and has sued to break the agreement, alleging that it was invalid.

Neither Cohen nor his attorney could be immediately reached for comment. In an earlier filing in response to her lawsuit, Cohen said he has the right to seek as much as $20 million from Daniels for breaches of the nondisclosure agreement.

Can't wait for her affidavit on the size of his little dick

Trump is sooooo stupid to mess with these people. What can he possibly hope to win now?
If they could have proved she was lying, they would never have paid the $130,000 as they could have cleaned her out with defamation damages with that proof.

The NDA

is riddled with physical and intellectual property rights that Stormy is to provide to Trump.
Why is that mentioned, necessary and detailed to the degree it is if nothing happened between them and it's all BS?

The nature and details in this agreement reveal that something happened between Stormy & Trump that Trump did not want anyone to know about.

Sadly, his hot shot lawyer, Cohen, wrote a lousy contract and her lawyer has found a pretty good way out of it - proven by the fact that they could not stop the 60 minutes interview with an injunction.

And I guarantee, no one on the defense is getting paid.
