Adult film star Stormy Daniels has filed a defamation suit against President Donald Trump for a tweet that said a forensic sketch of a man who allegedly threatened her in 2011 was "a total con job." Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 and was warned by an unidentified man to keep quiet about it five years later, after she gave an interview to a gossip magazine. The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan centers on an April 18 post on Trump's Twitter account in which he reacts to another person's tweet about the sketch. "A sketch years later about a nonexistent man," Trump's post said. "A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!" The suit alleges Trump's comment amounts to an accusation that Clifford fabricated the threat and exposed her to ridicule and violent threats. "Mr. Trump used his national and international audience of millions of people to make a false factual statement to denigrate and attack Ms. Clifford," the complaint says. Trump's attorney had no immediate comment on the defamation claim. Read Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit Clifford's attorney, Michael Avenatti, said, "Regardless of who you are or what position you hold, you are not permitted to fabricate statements in an effort to deceive people. There are consequences for doing that." This is the second lawsuit that Clifford has filed against Trump. Earlier this year she sued him and his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to dissolve a confidentiality agreement she signed days before the 2016 election in exchange for $130,000. Last week, a federal judge put the earlier suit on hold for 90 days because Cohen is now under federal investigation in connection with the payment to Clifford. The White House has said Clifford's allegations are false. "I've had conversations with the president about this," Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in March. "And as I outlined earlier, that this case had already been won in arbitration, and that there was no knowledge of any payments from the president and he's denied all of these allegations." Earlier this month, aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters that he didn't know about the $130,000 payment to Clifford and said they should ask Cohen. Cohen has said that he paid the hush money out of his own funds and was not repaid by the Trump campaign or Trump Organization — though he has not explicitly said Trump himself didn't repay it. Last week, during a live interview, Trump appeared to acknowledge that Cohen was representing him in the payment arrangement. "He represents me like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me," Trump said in a phone call to "Fox and Friends." Clifford underwent a polygraph test in 2011, and the examiner concluded she was telling the truth when she said she and Trump had unprotected sex in 2006. She took the exam at the request of a magazine that interviewed her about the encounter but didn't publish a story about it at the time. She contends the confidentiality pact she signed in 2016 is invalid because Trump didn't sign it. Lawyers for Cohen and Trump say the president was not a party to the agreement, so his signature wasn't required.
Poster Comment: Stormy the worn-out porn whore! This is so damned ridiculous. She allegedly screws, gets $130,000 and now wants to hog the spotlight and our leftist press accommodates her.

sTormy hillaryII grifTers love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
right! dip-shit "grab'em by the pussy" donnie is totally innocent! That's right! he never banged this porn star, and never had his "fixer" pay her off to keep her mouth shut...nope! not this 'mercan patriot!! F-yeah drain the swamp!! Listen... He actually did bang this porn-star.... and he did have his butt-boy cohen pay her off.... and now Mike "the wannabe fixer" Cohen will be indicted and the "Stormy banging cover-up" details will become public record...AND degenerate donnie is going to be faced with the simple fact that even IF you're POTUS, and even IF you're shit-hole donnie..... you cannot publicly defame someone... Especially if you're trying to cover up your "spank-me with fortune magazine fantasies".. and you think president tiny-hands is the victim here??? MAGA!!! F-yeah!! 'merca!!
Jameson,with all due respect,eat shit and die. If all you can do is whine like a little bitch as Trump accomplishes more POSITIVE things in less than two years than the entire fucking Bush Crime family managed to do through two presidencies. It is scum party people like you that have pissed this country down the drain while you attend pep rallies for your home team.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Egad! Another Hitlery fan who wishes her fat ass was ensconced in the White Hut!
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Assuming they did have this affair, and assuming Trump did want to pay her to be silent about it, what exactly is Stormy upset about, and why would Trump have committed any illegal act? Whatever happened was long before he got elected. It's not like Trump got serviced by an intern in the Oral office, is it? I guess I'm not up on all the steamy details. I have my criticisms of Trump, but this one isn't one of them.
I’ll take money hungry whores for $1,200, Alex.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I did like how he explained his whoremongering ways to those nice old Christian ladies that make up the Fox & Friends audience.
I read somewhere that Stormy is in demand again and will be making at least one more porno flick, all because a bunch of pervs apparently want to get a better look at presidential-quality hired pussy. IOW, Donald has revived her career and now ol' Stormy is going back to work, making American porn great again. MAGA!
Shut up murderer your time is coming.
What does the bush crime family have to do with this? DD45 banged this actress, has been lying about it for years, and had his submissive butt-boy pay her off. Your president is a degenerate, lying sack of shit. Facts.
"...why would Trump have committed any illegal act?..." Stormy is a capitalist. Stormy has a product to sell and wishes to sell it. She believes that she has found a loophole in a contract that will allow her to increase her revenue and net income. She has a competitor who has made statements and taken actions to hurt her ability to produce revenue. Stormy is looking to the courts to decide what is fair and what is unfair in this matter. defamation
Yes, that's something for which his true believers can be proud!
I agree wholeheartedly on the Stormy the Whore story. As far as Trump occupying the White House, I rejoice every day that Hitlery's fat ass isn't sitting in the Oval Orifice and shitting in the office's bathroom where he repulsive husband thingy masturbated into the sink. Unfortunately for the plumbing, the fat little pizza-faced intern hadn't satisfied his perverted sense of sexual fulfillment.

I don't mean the defamation claim, though I doubt she has a claim there as this case is already in the public domain. Celebrities pretty much forfeit any defamation claims by way of their being celebrities, as public discussion and speculation about them is considered legitimate public discourse. Trump likewise, cannot sue for defamation either for things said about him as he's well achieved celebrity status. That's a general rule, at least. I'm sure things can go too far. But I was referring more about her original spat with Trump. I took the time to read up on it. It seems Trump was married at the time of the alleged encounter, and wanted it kept quiet and was willing to pay to keep it so. Stormy signed a contract but wanted to renege on it, claiming Trump didn't personally sign it, so now the alleged affair is public, and Trump is now denying it ever happened. So now Stormy is upset because she's gone public with claims of an encounter that is being contested. It seems it's important to Stormy that the world know she had sex with Trump, and wants to renege on a hush contract, but otherwise has no claim to damage. I guess the questions comes down to *why* she wants to renege on this contract. Does she feel she was raped? Does she feel the amount of hush money isn't enough? I don't know what other reason for her claim would be. And now that her claim is public, I don't know what she stands to gain. Certainly no hush money will be offered at this point. So if she simply wants to establish as public record she had sex with Trump, then ultimately, it will come down to nothing more than a "he said/she said" claim. Certainly it wouldn't be surprising to me if it was true. But whatever Trump's sexual escapades were with Stormy, they occurred long before he ran for the presidency, and don't hold a candle to the political corruption that Hillary engaged in.
You know as much as I do... I'm guessing there are several issues for her. 1. She has claimed the NDA is void, Cohen claims it is not and that Stormy breached it - leaving her open to damages. So She asks the court to decide. 2. She can profit from the story - appearances, book deal, etc - so she must make sure she is not bound by the NDA 3. The defamation claim is simply a way to keep the ball rolling...? 4. It's all about the money - just like it is for DD45
In which case her motive was likely Trump's winning the presidency. Or maybe she's on the "I hate Trump" bandwagon as so many people are, in which case it doesn't look good for her.
I think she took the $130,000 believing that GS Donnie would lose. Now that he's POTUS, there's a lot more cash to be made.... just speculation............
No,that would be YOUR president,Boy Jorge Bush. MY president is just a ego-maniac that humped a whore,and the whore is now trying to keep her career going by making it public long after she spent the money. Poor judgement on his part given her career. I personally wouldn't want to bump up against her in a crowd walking down the street. If I did,I would want a Clorox shower.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Because she is now over the hill age-wise in whore years,and is looking for a couple more big paydays. Public appearance money,probably a porn movie about it,a book about it,"personal appearances" with 3rd world dictators with national treasuries at their disposal,etc,etc,etc. She's a whore. By definition that means she is in it for the money.

I'm really not sure where you got that idea.... I did not vote for, or support in any manner Duh-bya.
Everyone is in it for the money... Especially donnie dip-shit
I never understood this situation! This happen long before Trump was even thinking about running for president. Unlike bubba who nailed an intern while at the white hut and we will not even get in to the rape issues. She claimed sex was consensual. She claimed she was paid to not say anything and voluntarily signed a contact and was paid a large sum. Can you say prostitute! Let alone getting paid to do porn. Then broke the contract and now wants to profit off it. This somehow is suppose to harm Trump which doesn't. She is setting her self up to be sued and she will lose and have to pay damages. To me this sounds like extortion which I believe is a crime.
Then you are talking trash because you never voted for a candidate that actually won.

You can bet that Soros or someone similar already had CD's on deposit in her name in banks somewhere to cover any legal fees. She's a whore,not an idiot. If she didn't have guarantees she would have kept quiet.

Ok,set me straight. Who have you been voting for?

liar! Trump repaid lawyer 'hush money', says Giuliani http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43985260
About an alleged affair 12 years earlier, Big deal. Its not like he raped someone or had sex with an intern in the white hut! In more relevant news Clinton and Obama screwed America in about everyway possible with so much evidence you would need a semi truck to carry it. Comey colluded with the Clintons to put out fake news to harm her opponent. FBI and DOJ refuse to act on credible evidence and spend time working on fake news. FBI and DOJ refuse to hand over documents to congress for fear of indicting the FBI and DOJ heads over the handling of demoncrat rulers! Yes lets waste more time fishing for evidence on Trump and ignore real crimes!/s
There is nothing more relevant than exposing DD45 as a lying degenerate.
There is nothing more relevant than exposing DD45 as a lying degenerate. Lets be honest its all about a vanadate you have against trump and are willing to destroy America to feel better! I'm sorry but the sane world realizes whats going on here and it has nothing to do about law and order or Justice. Its all about getting Trump out because he can actually change things for the better for Good America. BTW if you want someone in office that does not lie then I have ocean front property on the moon that you just might be interested in. Very very cheap. I promise!
Vanadate?
Vanadate? vendetta
The term pretty much applies to any politician.
I hope that framed picture of Hillary you have hanging over your bed falls.

That's an exceptionally poor come-back. It's not funny or clever....it's not even insulting. I understand. You've got nothing. Your chosen one has been caught in yet another lie. This one is particularly public and embarrassing, and probably criminal. He continues to attempt to dodge, but no one believes a word that comes from his mouth. This guy is yours, you own him, and his lies... It sucks to be on his team.
I'm with the guy who is successful at turning the country around, making a difference and doing a far better job than the scummy, evil socialist Obama and his gang. You are so damned stupid you think Hillary would have been the better choice for the nation she helped reduce to pitiful status. I will have no further interest in anything you choose to state about anything!

And you have again proven that you are the sack of shit on this website.
