webfact Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Trump says Stormy Daniels sketch is of a 'nonexistent man' By Makini Brice Adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, arrives at ABC studios to appear on The View talk show in New York City, New York, U.S. April 17, 2018. REUTERS/Mike Segar WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said a man portrayed in a sketch released by porn star Stormy Daniels, who she said warned her to stop discussing her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump, does not exist. In response, Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti said his client would likely update a lawsuit she has filed against the president to include a charge of defamation. Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, says she had sex with Trump in 2006. She is fighting a 2016 nondisclosure agreement arranged by Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, in which she was paid $130,000 to keep silent. Trump's lawyers are seeking at least $20 million in damages from Daniels for violations of the nondisclosure agreement. On Tuesday, she and Avenatti released a sketch of a man whom she said had threatened her in 2011, and they offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his identification. Avenatti announced on Wednesday the reward had been increased to $131,000. The picture they released showed a man with facial stubble and a chiselled jaw, who was wearing a hoodie. Daniels described him in an interview with ABC on Wednesday as "sort of handsome." Trump has largely remained quiet on the subject, although he told reporters earlier this month that he did not know about the payment to Daniels. On Wednesday, in his first reference to Daniels via Twitter, he said in a post: "A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!" In an interview with CNN, Avenatti said a defamation claim would likely be added to Daniels' standing lawsuit. "He's effectively now told the American people that she is a liar, that she is a con, that she has made up this threat and this sketch," he said. "We're likely going to be amending our complaint - we're looking at doing that now - to add a defamation claim directly against the president." The sketch was released the day after a hearing in federal court in Manhattan, where Trump attorney Cohen fought to limit the capability of federal prosecutors to review documents seized in a raid by FBI agents on his home, office and hotel room. A source familiar with the raids said that the agents were looking for more information on payments to Daniels within materials related to Cohen's business dealings. The raids are related to a separate investigation into possible collusion between Russia and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has repeatedly said there was no collusion.

Popular Post Samui Bodoh Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 Ahhh! This is hilarious. Poor little Donald simply doesn't know how to deal with a woman like Stormy, and that becomes clearer and clearer every passing day. She will provoke him into doing stupid things, into hurting his own side and into damaging his own rep (what little there is...). And, I will laugh and laugh and laugh. Go Stormy go! 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all over the world but you guys will drag anything, just anything, out of the gutter to bring him down. How about focusing on policy where he is a disaster? I am totally against Trump on multiple issues but this is not the way to do it and many Americans won't like it and it may backfire in 2020. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alocacoc Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 Most likely stormy is a victim of corrupt politicians / layers. Does someone really believe it was her idea to start all this crap? She gets abused by powerful people. In this game she have to play a cheap pawn sacrifice. As soon her puppet masters losing their interest in her - that's what will happen very soon - they'll let her fall like a hot potato. Most likely she will end as a broken women who can be happy to find a job in a striptease club. But even for that she's to old I guess. Or she writes a book. I'm sure there are enough morons which read such crap. One again. I couldn't care less about stormy. But I feel sorry for her daughter.

It's a violation of election law, that's what's wrong with it. And why some of his defenders come with claims like yours 'I'm totally against the guy, but ...' is beyond me. The only explanation I can come up with is that you need that lie for your own conscience. Edited April 19, 2018 by stevenl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're responding to someone saying 'it's a violation of election law.' look up "payment in kind" and 'election law' as it pertains to Cohen and Trump. There are strict laws in the US which say a person who contributes money or payment-in-kind to a candidate during a campaign, is required to register that amount, and there's a limit to the amount which can be donated. Cohen broke that law, and probably many other laws. Cohen has a choice to wax truthful and get a few years behind bars, or hang tough and get many years in prison. Trump can't pardon for state-level law-breaking. Cohen's kids are going to grow up without a dad around. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly his handlers/advisers told him to stop Twittering about Stormy as he was only adding more grist to the mill. Laughingly he he cannot control his little Twitter fingers, they seem to have a life of their own. Down the road this will all make a great movie, especially all the behind the scenes dramas.....a bit like the last days of Hitler in the bunker movie. 555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think perhaps Tiny Don has finally met his match, with Stormy. A smart woman, who is more articulate than he is (not a real challenge), has a far greater vocabulary (again, not a real challenge), and just does not want to go away! She is driving him insane. Now that Mueller is getting closer, and Cohen is about to cave in, under pressure of arrest, the end is near. Hallelujah.

Popular Post mikebike Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 Do people really not understand election finance law? Or is it just that laws do not apply in some cases?

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 Danniels' attorney Michael Avanatti is loving Trump's rants against his client 'the gift that keeps giving' is how he termed it. Avanatti is now filing defamation charges on behalf of his client against Trump and has expressed his view that the President's latest comments towards his client have increased the likelihood of success in seeking to deposition Trump regarding the affair and payment to his client. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
