Trump Lawyer Arranged $130,000 Payment for Adult-Film Star’s Silence
Wall Street Journal ^ | 01/12/2018

Posted on 01/12/2018 1:09:02 PM PST by Responsibility2nd

A lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to a former adult-film star a month before the 2016 election as part of an agreement that precluded her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

Michael Cohen, who spent nearly a decade as a top attorney at the Trump Organization, arranged payment to the woman, Stephanie Clifford, in October 2016 after her lawyer negotiated the nondisclosure agreement with Mr. Cohen, these people said.

Ms. Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels, has privately alleged the encounter with Mr. Trump took place after they met at a July 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, these people said. Mr. Trump married Melania Trump in 2005.

Mr. Trump faced other allegations during his campaign of inappropriate behavior with women, and vehemently denied them. In this matter, there is no allegation of a nonconsensual interaction.

“These are old, recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied prior to the election,” a White House official said, responding to the allegation of a sexual encounter involving Mr. Trump and Ms. Clifford. The official declined to respond to questions about an agreement with Ms. Clifford. It isn’t known whether Mr. Trump was aware of any agreement or payment involving her.

With the comment yesterday about immigrants and today’s WSJ, I think we are seeing a coordinated onslaught and that more accusations will now be raining down in a coordinated manner as the swamp panics.

Yeah. One would think the WSJ would still have their panties in a wad over the s-hole remark.

But nope. They have to rerun Fake News from years ago.

Yep. If he didn’t rape, abuse, stalk, or ruin the career of this woman, this disclosure is looking downright quaint by comparison to what is going on in the media and Hollywood.

This is the usual Friday release from the Deep State/Media. They aren't going to go without a fight, especially since they've been in a losing streak for a month or more.

Every day it’s a new attack. The haters will never stop. They will daily attack and assault Trump, Trump supporters and the USA in general.
