Stormy Daniels Lawyer: We Would Consider a Settlement
National Review ^ | 03/30/2018 | By MAIREAD MCARDLE

Posted on 03/30/2018 7:08:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.”

She saw 39 about 5 years ago. Hogwash.

Seriously. If she's in her 30's - even 39 - I'm 16. She's more like 45-+

To FR Legal experts: what complaint against Trump is she willing to “settle”? Sex or not, seems like she has no grounds for anything.

Avanetti said Cohen was a known thug....

I think Avanetti is setting himself for a few lawsuits.

And the reason that Trump is not responding is that Avanetti wants every word Trump says to build some kind of insane case.

at makes no sense is that she went to her pilatti class instead of filing a police report.....so it was obviously a non event....and in fact didn’t happen...and the incident never says that it related to Trump.

I believe a judge gave a big fat NO on deposing President Trump.

TRUMP: DO NOT give them anything. Even a roll of used toilet paper would be considered guilt by many people.

I would sue back for extortion.

Her lawyer is big buddy of Rahm. I suspect this was all a huge scam from the very beginning.

The judge should make clear that Ms. Daniels’ lawyer is jointly liable for the $20 million in compensation for breaking the NDA.

Does this mean anyone who gets laid can sue?

No. Definitely not "privileged white males".
