Are they actually still talking about this? What is the endgame here?
Hopefully the endgame is Mr. Cohen (Trump’s attorney) filing a civil lawsuit against Stormy for breach of contract and a formal complaint to the state bar against the attorney for breach of ethics (i.e. advising his client to break a legal contract and aiding his client in the breaking of the contract by publicly discussing the matters the contract required to be kept quiet).
As to Stormy’s attorney stating he and his client are ready to negotiate a settlement with Trump, there is nothing to settle with Trump. He has denied the Stormy’s allegations. Despite her NDA with Trump’s attorney she has gone public with her story. Having gone public, she no longer has any leverage on Trump. Perhaps she and her attorney are saying they want to settle with Mr. Cohen before he files a breach of contract lawsuit or files charges with the bar against the attorney. There is no upside for Cohen to settle for less than he can realize in court. Stormy has already demonstrated she will willfully violate a NDA and her lawyer clearly will leak to the press. Cohen is better served to sue in court for breach and run up Stormy’s legal bills.
