The pornographic film actress who says she had an affair with President Trump offered on Monday to return $130,000 she received from Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer in 2016 for agreeing not to discuss the alleged relationship.
In exchange, the actress, Stephanie Clifford, seeks an end to her deal to keep quiet about what she says was an affair with Mr. Trump that started in 2006 and lasted for several months.
In the letter, which was sent to Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, early Monday, Ms. Clifford’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote that Ms. Clifford would wire the money into an account of Mr. Trump’s choosing by Friday.
Mr. Avenatti set a deadline of noon Tuesday for Mr. Cohen to answer the offer from Ms. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels.
Under the terms of the deal detailed in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, the contract ensuring Ms. Clifford’s silence would be “deemed null and void’’ once she returned the sum called for in her original contract.
Under Mr. Avenatti’s offer, Ms. Clifford would then be allowed to “(a) speak openly and freely about her prior relationship with the President and the attempts to silence her and (b) use and publish any text messages, photos and/or videos relating to the President that she may have in her possession, all without fear of retribution and/or legal liability for damages.”
The letter also seeks an agreement that neither Mr. Trump nor the shell company that Mr. Cohen used to pay Ms. Clifford, which he represents as a party to their October 2016 deal, would move to block the broadcast of an interview that Ms. Clifford taped with “60 Minutes” last week.

Human beings are sexual creatures. And, truth be told, I suspect a LOT of what they do “in the bedroom” might be kinda weird, etc. to those not a party to the actions.
As my wife said, one time describing some reasonable point being made in the “after sex” time of clarity, she called it “when sanity returns”.
i.e. I really don’t want to know what is going on in other people’s bedrooms, including Trump’s. He can dress up like Reagan and hire prostitutes to wear a Hillary mask for all I care.
How much is George Soros paying her?
And then advise her that a full forensic analysis of her assets will be conducted to see where she’s getting the money. If she has it, due to her previous work or current work, great. If anything is found to be suspicious, IE a newer bank account, that has a substantial amount of money in it and she has no way of accounting for where it came from, then that will be fully investigated for money laundering, ill gotten gains from illegal activity, so on and so forth.
If she keeps it up, then she might have something, even though it means nothing. If she shuts up, then we’ll know that she’s a puppet to the forces trying to take down the President. Just a matter of who that is.
The very last thing she’s doing is keeping quiet, anyway
I wonder how Thomas Jefferson's "alleged" affair with slave Sally Hemings would be played out in today's media?
It would indeed be nice to have leaders who lived exemplary, scandal-free lives before, during and after their time of service but we know even if someone DID their enemies would dig up or fabricate dirt on them anyway.
Nobody cared that billionaire playboy Donald trump played around and cheated on his wives (except the wives) - it was expected. Now that he has been elected, it seems like everyone expects him to NOT have lived that way. When he was caught talking about grabbing women and how "they let you", he wasn't admitting he had assaulted women only that a man in his position literally had women throwing themselves at him and begging for his attention - and we know they did. What, I think, matters is how he lives NOW. Has he changed his ways? It looks like he has. Don't we all want redemption and forgiveness for ourselves?
Fake Nudes!
This. It was already baked in. We voted for a president, not a pope.
True. But, I’ll take a President that allegedly did something, as a private citizen, 13 years ago, over the last 3, that did their level best to sell out, give away and destroy this country, while they held the position of Commander in Chief.
What did she say to 60 Minutes?
I’m sure Stormy’s answering machine is loaded with messages from Gloria Allred.
That’s not how a non-disclosure works.
We would like to know who is paying her legal bills.
I guess the other part is, does anyone think this did not happen? Its pretty clear it did.
What can she talk about that is really news? The story broke and everyone just shrugged their shoulders and said, “Yeah...I could see that.”
We don’t like it. But it doesn’t shock us. And as we were so clearly taught in the ‘90s...its Just sex.
Rush said it better than I ever could:

RUSH: And, by the way, one more thing on Stormy Daniels, the porn star of the Make America Horny Again Tour. Supposedly now she’s free and able to divulge the details of her supposed affair with Trump because she didn’t sign the NDA, and Trump’s lawyer paid 130 grand. You leftists, you Democrats, you have to remember something. We’ve lived this before. We’ve been there. We’ve been here; we’ve been there.
There was a guy once named Bill Clinton who was shtupping an intern in the Oval Office. There was a guy in the White House who was reputedly a rapist. There was a guy in the White House who was hitting on female aides — and what were we told? We were told, “Everybody does it! It’s just sex, and it’s nobody’s business,” and that it didn’t affect the way he was doing his job and we were told effectively to shut up. We were told to shut the hell up and mind our own business.
Well, my guess is you have a bunch of people who remember that, and now when you want to start crying wolf about Donald Trump, they’re out there asking you, “What’s the big deal? It’s just sex! Everybody does it — and besides, unlike Clinton, this stuff, if it happened, happened years ago. It hasn’t happened in the Oval Office, it hasn’t happened in the residence.” It hasn’t happened at every campaign stop that the horn dog president made.
It happened years ago. You leftists, you love settled law! Well, this is a settled subject. Even your feminazis shut up and laid down and stood down when Clinton was out shtupping the intern. Your feminazis said it was okay. And why? Because Bill Clinton was too important to the agenda. Why, one of the feminazis in the media even promised to give Bill Clinton any number of Lewinskys that he wanted, all because he was keeping abortion legal.
So, I’m sorry. If you expect people to get all upset about some rumor about Trump from ten years ago, have at it. CNN, go ahead and devote another 10 hours to it. Go get some drunk guy as a guest to start telling us the truth about this, too, and see how far it gets you.
Hey, the clintoons just practice arkincide....just sayin.
It hasn't been shown yet. They filmed it and Cohen is trying to keep CBS from airing it, claiming it violates the non-disclosure. Hence her offer to return the money.
What's he going to do, sue her? She doesn't have any money.
What other remedies are there for breaking the contract? It's not a criminal offense so it is a civil matter.
This story only resonates with CNN and the liberal left, like Maxine Waters anyway.
Trump's base will yawn at this palace intrigue.
You have to hand it to President Trump. He just continues to be the Director of the Trump Train and it's full speed ahead!
Bill Clinton had Paula Jones audited by the IRS several times
