The attorney representing porn star Stormy Daniels suggested his client would be open to settling her lawsuit against President Trump outside of court.
“If they came to you with a settlement in this case, would you accept it?” CBS This Morning‘s Anthony Mason asked attorney Michael Avenatti. “I think we would consider it; I would converse with my client. It would depend on the terms of a settlement,” Avenatti responded. “But at this point, I don’t see how the case gets resolved short of the truth coming out.”
Daniels, 39, is suing Trump over a non-disclosure agreement stemming from an extra-marital one-night stand she allegedly had with the president in 2006. Her lawyer argues the agreement is not binding since it was not signed by Trump himself.
The popular adult-film actress also claims she and her infant daughter were threatened in a Las Vegas parking lot to keep quiet about the affair. She was paid $130,000 by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen late in the 2016 campaign to stay silent about the affair.
“We’re only getting started. Michael Cohen has zero credibility,” Avenatti said, adding that Cohen has a “history of thuggish behavior” and “trying to step on little people.”
He also commented that the reason Trump has not tweeted about Ms. Daniels is because the allegations are true.
Host Gayle King challenged the attorney a bit more, remarking that the “salacious” details of the case are “jarring” for many Americans, and asking him to tell her why the case should matter to voters.
“It should matter to every American because it’s all about the cover-up,” Avenatti said. “It’s about the lies and deceit.”
Isn’t the whole point of attempted blackmail that you agree to not go public?
I feel like I’m in a parallel universe. But I mostly ignore this story.
Lawyer realizes they may come out of this with $Zero plus court costs.
Now any $$$ is better than no $$$$, so they are willing to settle.
Settle what? They still have not proved that they have a ‘legal’ case. She apparently signed a non-disclosure agreement a long time ago and now wants to back out of it — because she doesn’t think she got enough $$$ then.
I doubt she’s the first sex worker to feel “threatened” in a Las Vegas parking lot.
I would bet my house that Trump will never give these people a dime.
I'm glad not to be in the dating game anymore. It doesn't seem like it's fun anymore.
Exactly. He's a veteran of New York City and Las Vegas real estate dealings. He'll come out of this just fine.
I read somewhere that she could be sued for a $ million for every violation of her NDA. I hope that happens.
Im sure you would
She is gross. She is a walking venereal disease.
Trump would not touch her with a 10-ft pole. He is germ-adverse and is reluctant to even shake hands with normal people.
How about one of those $1 settlements.
Stormy gets 66 cents and the swamp-diving lawyer the balance
When does this officially become a blackmail scheme?
$$$$$$! The oldest profession is still alive and kicking...
Ambulance chaser hungry let’ make a deal.
nobody i know seemed to follow those unwritten rules you mention, and i’m talking decades ago.
Let this be a lesson: A gentleman never tells but a whore never shuts up.
LOL! Settle this, beyotch!
Yeah, but like the good whore that she is, she's now asking for sloppy seconds.
So the whore finally settles on a price to sell herself.
