Stormy Daniels Offers to Return Payment to End Deal for Her Silence
New York Times ^ | 03/12/2018 | By JIM RUTENBERG

Posted on 03/12/2018 11:25:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The pornographic film actress who says she had an affair with President Trump offered on Monday to return $130,000 she received from Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer in 2016 for agreeing not to discuss the alleged relationship.

In exchange, the actress, Stephanie Clifford, seeks an end to her deal to keep quiet about what she says was an affair with Mr. Trump that started in 2006 and lasted for several months.

In the letter, which was sent to Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, early Monday, Ms. Clifford’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote that Ms. Clifford would wire the money into an account of Mr. Trump’s choosing by Friday.

Mr. Avenatti set a deadline of noon Tuesday for Mr. Cohen to answer the offer from Ms. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels.

Under the terms of the deal detailed in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, the contract ensuring Ms. Clifford’s silence would be “deemed null and void’’ once she returned the sum called for in her original contract.

Under Mr. Avenatti’s offer, Ms. Clifford would then be allowed to “(a) speak openly and freely about her prior relationship with the President and the attempts to silence her and (b) use and publish any text messages, photos and/or videos relating to the President that she may have in her possession, all without fear of retribution and/or legal liability for damages.”

The letter also seeks an agreement that neither Mr. Trump nor the shell company that Mr. Cohen used to pay Ms. Clifford, which he represents as a party to their October 2016 deal, would move to block the broadcast of an interview that Ms. Clifford taped with “60 Minutes” last week.

Even if true, I note that all of Trump’s relationships are consensual.

No rape or coercion.

The Clintons and Kennedys should take notes.

I seriously doubt there is a “give back” clause in the contract.

This whole affair is utter nonsense.
No one cares except those that are
so desperately trying to bring
Trump down. Building mountains out of
mole hills.

What is the problem? He didn’t kill his lover like Teddy did and he didn’t sexually assault an employee like Bill. The only one that could have a beef with Trump is his wife. All of a sudden the left are concerned with infidelity? How funny is that?

I look at it like this..........a woman of ill repute, in today’s language a skank who has no moral compass will sell to the highest bidder because she has no shame will do ANYTHING for money and the Soros/leftist in this country think that’s their kind of people (because it is). Supposedly a lawyer for President Trump paid this thing out of his own pocket without POTUS knowledge? Is that true? That lawyer needs to sue her to the moon and back if so.

This is what their Trumphatred has reduced the Times to? Soliciting salacious details from a high mileage, over the hill pornstar?

If they really want to know what she does in bed I'm sure there's plenty of video out there. Sheesh.

So they have essentially now revealed what Clifford has on Trump, and gotten around the NDA.

Hasn’t she broken any deal she may have had?

It is time for the penalties that are built into such deals to be applied

Her lawyer should remind her what a contract is.

She's trying to buy her way out of the contract.

What is the consequence if Daniels unilaterally breaks the deal? Daniels would probably get the wire instructions much faster if she just broke the deal herself and let all the information out.
