Trump attorney seeks to force porn star's lawsuit into arbitration

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer asked a federal judge on Monday to force adult film star Stormy Daniels to use arbitration to settle a dispute over an agreement to keep quiet about a sexual encounter she says she had with Trump.

 

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, last month sued Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, to be released from the non-disclosure agreement she signed in October 2016 in exchange for $130,000.

 

The White House has denied that Trump had sex with Daniels. Cohen has said he paid Daniels out of his own pocket.

 

In Monday's court filing in Los Angeles, Brent Blakely, Cohen's attorney, argued the agreement included a provision that any disputes over it be settled through arbitration, as opposed to open court.

 

Federal law "dictates that this motion be granted, and that Clifford be compelled to arbitration, as she knowingly and voluntarily agreed to do," Blakely wrote.

 

Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, said the matter should be settled in open court.

 

"We will vigorously oppose the just-filed motion by Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen to have this case decided in a secret arbitration, in a private conference room, purposely hidden from the American public," Avenatti said in a statement.

 

Last week, U.S. District Judge S. James Otero ruled that a request by Daniels to depose Trump and Cohen was premature because they had yet to formally request that she arbitrate her claims. [nL1N1RB1VE]

 

Avenatti has argued that the non-disclosure agreement is invalid because Trump never signed it. But in Monday's filing Blakely responded that the language of the agreement did not specify that Trump, using the pseudonym David Dennison, needed to sign it for the agreement to be binding.

 

Blakely also argued that Daniels accepted the $130,000 and did not dispute the agreement for 16 months even though Trump had not signed it.

 

Daniels has said she and Trump had sex once in 2006 but that they kept in touch for a period of time. [nL1N1R70AD]

Sparky was a busy boy.

 

During this tournament, Trump (who married Melania Trump about 18 months earlier, and whose son Barron had been born in March) allegedly propositioned or had sex with at least four women, three of them adult film actresses and the fourth a Playboy model.

The whole thing with Miss Daniels interests me.

 

I especially wonder if Trump's   gorgeous wife will end up having her fill of him.    Melania surely is far less needy than  Hillary was at the corresponding time.    Malinia is certainly young enough and beautiful enough to write her own ticket  for the future.    Her divorce from POTUS would easily, I'd guess,  be in the hundreds of millions USD.

 

President Trump must surely feel uneasy about this  whole  thing.    He should just confess to weakness of the sexual kind.

 

If he dismisses it he makes the same serious mistake as Nixon in not destroying the tapes when he had the opportunity.

 

If he continues to think he's above the law,  he may have a big surprise and awakening in store for  him.

I'm sure Melania knew that Trump was an uncontrollable sex hound prior to marrying him.  She probably thought that at his age, he'd tone it down some....but she was wrong.  I'm guessing that she'd divorce Trump right now if he wasn't POTUS.  But they have a prenup, so she's limited as to what she can get.  Melania should hire Stormy's lawyer to handle the divorce.  That would be classic.

I don't doubt he had sex with her; my only issue is why?

Because he likes blondes with large breasts. DUH!

Anyway, he hides behind white house spokespeople to deny that he had the sex. There was an illegal payoff (violating campaign laws). 

If he's forced to appear in court and keeps his denial position then he's in trouble. 

 

Yeah he definitely had the sex. The sex is not the issue though. It's the after sex stuff.

 

Of course, most common sense people understand that "trump" had the sex, but hilariously there are still pathetic "trump" supporters that actually believe that he didn't because that is "trump"'s position! A man that lies much more than any president in history and they actually believe everything he says. Amazing! I think the word for that is IRREDEEMABLE.

Well, now my poor uninformed friend; there are blondes with big breasts who are not worn-out porcupines; you know, if she had as many sticking out as she's had stuck in, she'd look like a porcupine.

Not sure about the value of the prenup to Trump is Melania gets to use the publicity value of a divorce of a sitting president, especially if the divorce is contentious. My guess is that she will dump him in the future, possibly when he is no longer president, and is probably being offered substantial sums just to keep quiet for now. So much for prenup!

In my opinion anyone who accepts $130,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and then breaks that agreement, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law !

I think going after POTUS like this should be made a crime!

She may be. So I can assume you have the same enthusiasm for prosecuting "trump"'s lawyer for breaking campaign finance law?

I'm sure she is benefiting majorly in her next skank movie. I'm guessing it's going to be north of 500k

 

The Slag is going to clean up one way or another.

To focus on her looks comes off as misogynist in this context. The sex in question was a decade ago and it's obvious she didn't become a porn star without looking sexy to an awful lot of people at least when she was younger. One of those especially awful people was obviously the current president.

I'm not a supporter like I said if you had comprehension skills.

But seriously. One eats sperm for money and the other the most powerful man in the world and refused the presidential income and will go down in history like him or not

Somebody needs a good long look in the mirror buddy with your value system. Thankfully your mom isn't aware of your belief system

But then he/they would because the Chump is a PROVEN liar..........quite how the world got to have this proven liar, philandering, misogynist, semi-literate excuse for a human being in charge of the most powerful nation in the world is beyond belief.

Except he is president. And what's your amazing success story apart from coming to Thailand for the same reason as everybody else?

 

Looking forward to the usually nonsense responses [emoji3]

President or not as a human being he deserves no respect. The office does. He has dragged that great office down the deepest gutter.

What have you achieved in your years in Pattaya. Name one single thing apart from a resteraunt thread you will be remembered for?

 

I can't say what I really want because I will get banned
