Lawyer paid $130k to silence adult-film star over sexual encounter with Trump: report
The (s)Hill ^ | 1/12/18 | Avery Anapol

A lawyer for President Trump reportedly arranged a six-figure payment to a former adult-film star to keep her from discussing a sexual encounter with Trump, according to a new report Friday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen, an attorney for the Trump Organization at the time and now Trump’s personal lawyer, arranged for Stephanie Clifford, known in the industry as Stormy Daniels, to receive $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement one month before the 2016 presidential election.

Cohen told the Journal in a statement that Trump “once again vehemently denies” the encounter, but did not comment on the alleged $130,00 payment.

“This is now the second time that you are raising outlandish allegations against my client,” Cohen said in the statement. “You have attempted to perpetuate this false narrative for over a year; a narrative that has been consistently denied by all parties since at least 2011.”

Cohen's reference to previous allegations may include the Journal's report in the days before the election that Clifford intended to appear on "Good Morning America" to discuss the alleged affair. She reportedly chose not to appear on the show at that time without explanation.

Cohen sent the paper a statement signed by “Stormy Daniels” denying the sexual encounter with Trump and saying that hush money rumors are “completely false.”

Long knives are out for our great President.

Stand strong in prayer for this man. Wickedness abounds in the media and in the halls of D.C.

Now that's a high priced hooker.

I agree—but it is in the (s)Hill, the AP wire, and newsweek.com

I bet this is the next volley of fire that heads to DJT.

It doesn’t matter that there is no evidence, it is the seriousness of the charges that matter.

Circular firing squad. One says it then it’s round and round and round and nobody stops.

Fusion GPS must be handing out paychecks to urinalists like crazy to try and destroy Trump before he burns down Fusion GPS along with every s*^%hole FBI agent involved in trying to destroy a presidential candidate by misusing the resources of the Federal Government. that Fusion GPS was running the wiretaps on the Trump campaign is telling just how corrupt the FBI is.

If these reporters can’ prove it then they should all be sued.
Trump seems to have some pretty good evidence that they are lying. How come these reporters did not contact the women involved in this story? She denies it. So I would say there is a real case for Trump here. SUE!

The man’s worth millions. Now why would a porn star settle for a measly $130,000? It makes no sense.

Even spray and pray hits something once in awhile. Usually an innocent.

So much bull. So much hypocrisy.
