A New York attorney grievance committee on Tuesday dismissed a complaint filed by adult film performer Stormy Daniels alleging one of former President Trump’s lawyers in his hush-money case has a conflict of interest. Daniels, who in 2016 was paid the money at the center of Trump’s criminal case, filed the complaint earlier this year after claiming attorney Joe Tacopina had a conflict because of his prior dealings with her. “Following an investigation of the allegations in the above-referenced complaint filed against you, the Committee has determined to take no further action,” Jorge Dopico, chief attorney for the Attorney Grievance...

Stephanie Clifford - better known to the world as Stormy Daniels - was the headliner at Savannah’s club in Harrisburg Friday night. Until she wasn’t. The former adult film star, currently at the center of the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump over hush money payments designed to buy her silence about a one-night stand with the then-Republican candidate during the 2016 presidential race, never showed Friday. And all of a sudden a night of bawdy burlesque turned into a mystery. David Wendell, who books Clifford’s appearances at adult clubs like Savannah’s through his business, Centerfold Features, said...

A federal judge in New York has rejected former President Donald Trump's request to move his hush-money criminal case into federal court. "Trump has failed to show that the conduct charged by the Indictment is for or relating to any act performed by or for the President under color of the official acts of a President," Judge Alvin Hellerstein wrote in his ruling Wednesday. Trump has pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election. He...

We’ve seen the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has had a lot of questionable things regarding its case against former President Donald Trump involving alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.First, Democrat Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg didn’t pursue the matter when he came into office. He had prosecutors quit over it, but he didn’t want to pursue any action against Trump. The feds also didn’t think there was anything they should be pursuing. But then Bragg — for some reason, let’s guess why — flipped and indicted Trump a few months after he declared he was running for president in 2024.However,...

SALIX, Iowa — It has become a bit. In these early days of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ bid for president, Casey DeSantis joins her husband onstage, and the stories start to roll. There’s the one about bottled water from the Sea of Galilee, preciously savored for the children’s baptisms, that’s accidentally tossed out by a housekeeper at the governor's residence. Then there are Casey’s attestations of mom-hood, battling permanent marker scrawls on furniture and dragging by day’s end, when her husband comes home from work and she hands over the three children. The couple fires off all the indicators of...

Stormy Daniels regrets ever coming forward about her alleged quickie with former President Donald Trump — accusing his “sycophants” of even attacking her horse. The dejected-sounding porn star admitted on UK TV that she fears Trump, 76, will “get away with” the criminal charges he faces tied to alleged hush-money payouts to hide a tryst ahead of the 2016 election. “I spoke my truth, but it was just for nothing,” Daniels, 44, complained on “Good Morning Britain” Wednesday. “I just feel like if people don’t want to face facts and see the truth … then you know what, I’d rather...

Donald Trump threw his hands in the air in fury during a virtual appearance in a Manhattan court on Tuesday as a judge scheduled the Stormy Daniels 'hush money' criminal trial for March 25, 2024. It means the former president will be in a Manhattan courtroom for weeks in the middle of the Republican primaries and just months before the presidential election. The court day lies just weeks after the 'Super Tuesday' primaries set for March 5, and days after Florida's March 19 contest that will pit Trump against Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump, 76, scowled into the camera during a...

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels has cashed in on her notoriety, sporting a net worth of $6 million, according to her latest tax filing. She has an annual income of $800,000 with $1 million in assets and $3 million in investments. By contrast, her net worth in 2018 — prior to her becoming entangled in the thicket of legal filings against Trump — was $710,000. Clearly, extorting money from Donald Trump has been very profitable for Miss Daniels.Related: LOL LOL: Ninth Circuit Orders Stormy Daniels to Pay Trump Additional $121,973Since then, Daniels has squeezed every last penny out of the...

The Gateway Pundit previously reported New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is presiding over President Trump’s Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case. Judge Merchan previously oversaw the tax fraud cases of the Trump’s Org and the Trump Org’s former CFO Allen Weisselberg. Trump is not a fan of Merchan and took to Truth Social last week and wrote “Juan Manuel Merchan, was hand picked by Bragg & the Prosecutors, & is the same person who “railroaded” my 75 year old former CFO, Allen Weisselberg.” Merchan has been described as a life long Democrat and a bombshell discovery of his daughter’s...

Former President Trump posted his schedule for Monday and Tuesday on his social media company, Truth Social. He flies to New York today at noon. He will spend the night at Trump Tower. Tuesday his arraignment will happen at 2:15 p.m. and he will return to Mar-a-Lago after that. He announced that he will deliver a statement about the indictment at 8:15 p.m. That statement, however, is now in question. There is rumored to be a possibility that the judge in the case will issue a gag order to stop Trump from speaking out. Sunday on CNN, Lanny Davis, the...

It’s important to remember that Stormy Daniels signed a non-disclosure agreement and then took $130,000 in payment, allegedly from Michael Cohen on behalf of Donald Trump shortly before the 2016 election. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract that establishes a confidential relationship. In this case, that relationship was an extramarital sexual relationship between Trump and a porn star who goes by Stormy Daniels.Daniels has been trying to cash in on her alleged relationship with Trump ever since the whole scandal began. It wasn’t much of a shock to Trump voters in 2016 because Trump already had a...

Donald Trump has claimed Manhattan's DA has dropped a criminal probe into a hush money payment to a porn star, a week after claiming he'd be arrested within days. The former president told a small group of reporters aboard his private jet Saturday night that prosecutors would have had no choice but to give up in the face of recent evidence. With an open necked shirt and bottle of Diet Coke by his side, Trump cut a relaxed figure as he traveled back from the first rally of his campaign in Waco, Texas - and grew angry at any suggestion...

Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by sharing images showing him holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head — and calling him “a degenerate psychopath” who “hates the USA!” Trump, 76, shared the image — featured in a link to an article — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over the “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels. “They are HUMAN SCUM!” he wrote in one post asking why Bragg “refuses to do the right thing and ‘call it a...

President Trump has said for years that the entire thing was a lie. Now he somehow obtained a letter from Stormy Daniels showing her signature and stating that she never had a relationship with Donald Trump.

Former President Trump on Wednesday took a swing at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) after the Florida governor knocked him in an interview with Fox News’s Piers Morgan, another clash between the two GOP figures as they prepare for what could be a 2024 presidential primary match-up. In an interview set to air on Fox Nation’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored” Thursday and published in part by The New York Post, DeSantis shifted from his previously veiled stance to more directly addressing the former president’s attacks with jabs of his own toward Trump’s character and leadership. Trump, who is facing a looming indictment...
