Back in 2006, slimy Donald Trump was still in the honeymoon phase of his third marriage. Melania Trump was home with baby son Barron and Donald Trump was allegedly running around trying to have sex with numerous women in the adult film industry, even offering to pay the women for a late night “party” in his hotel room. It was during this time that he allegedly had a six-month-long affair with Stephanie Clifford, who goes by the name “Stormy Daniels” in the adult film industry. Although Clifford detailed their lengthy affair to InTouch Weekly in 2011, she later accepted $130,000 only weeks before November 2016 in a “hush agreement” to buy her silence. Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, set-up an LLC to make the payment and the parties went by “David Dennison” (Trump) and “Peggy Peterson” (Cliffords).
Trump has denied the allegations, but Clifford may have the receipts. Clifford’s attorney has now publicly released a copy of the complaint asking to invalidate the “hush agreement.” NBC News has the details on the original agreement and it contains this curious passage:
The 2016 hush agreement directed that $130,000 be paid into the trust account of Clifford's then-attorney. In return, Clifford was not to disclose any confidential information about Trump or his sexual partners to anyone beyond a short list of individuals she'd already told about the relationship, or share any texts or photos from Trump.
Emphasis added. Information about other sexual partners, texts and (gulp) photos. Attorney Michael Avenatti is representing Stephanie Clifford in her lawsuit against Donald Trump and he appeared on The Today Show to talk about why they believe the “hush agreement” is invalid. Avenatti unequivocally confirmed that the two had a sexual relationship and claims that Clifford was intimidated and coerced into signing a later statement denying the relationship, that Michael Cohen has made several false statements regarding the agreement and the relationship and that Clifford wants to be free to tell her story.
Watch:
As Clifford’s plea to be released from the agreement takes over the talk shows, how long until Melania Trump says enough is enough and walks away?
