She was paid $130,000 for her silence. However, her “married lover” forgot to sign the nondisclosure agreement. Now, porn star Stormy Daniels is ready to tell all about her year-long romantic affair with Donald Trump.
Politics
The torrid love affair between Stormy Daniels (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford) and “The Donald” began soon after Melania Trump gave birth to their son, Barron. From the summer of 2006 until well into 2007, Trump and the professional porn actress engaged in an extra-marital affair similar to all the other affairs he had with women while married to his previous wives.
In late October and only days before the 2016 presidential election, attorney Michael Cohen offered Daniels a deal on behalf of Trump: she’d be paid upwards of $100,000 in cash if she’d only agree to sign a confidentiality agreement and remain perpetually silent about the affair. Daniels agreed, signed the form, and collected her cash.
For months, the deal was kept quiet. Hours before an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” meant to follow Trump’s first nationally televised State of the Union address, Stormy Daniels issued a signed statement addressed “To Whom It May Concern” and theoretically denied any affair with Donald Trump.
“The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018,” her signed statement read. “I am not denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying it because it never happened.”
Skip forward to 2018 and Stormy Daniels has made a new statement: FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID BEFORE.
Yes, Daniels is now admitting the affair DID happen and is suing “The Donald” to void their previous agreement because he forgot to sign it.
The “hush agreement,” as it is referred to in the suit, lists Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels under the pseudonyms “David Dennison” and “Peggy Peterson.” A side letter agreement actually revealed the true identities of the former lovers.
The document included the signatures of Daniels and Trump attorney Michael Cohen. A blank was left where “DD” (Trump) was supposed to sign, however, he somehow forgot to affix his signature and bind the agreement.
Because Trump never signed the deal, Daniels now (correctly) claims that the agreement is invalid, meaning she is no longer bound to remain silent about the affair and to pretend it never happened.

In an interesting sidenote, the suit by Daniels alleges that Trump’s attorney has continuously attempted to prevent her from discussing the affair as recently as February 27, 2018.
“To be clear, the attempts to intimidate Ms. Clifford [Daniels] into silence and ‘shut her up’ in order to ‘protect Mr. Trump’ continue unabated,” the suit stated. “On or about February 27, 2018, Mr. Trump’s attorney, Mr. Cohen, surreptitiously initiated a bogus arbitration proceeding against Ms. Clifford in Los Angeles” (Binding arbitration is specified as a means of dispute resolution).
Daniels and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, have petitioned the Los Angeles County Superior Court to declare that both the hush agreement and the side agreement “were never formed, and therefore do not exist, because, among other things, Mr. Trump never signed the agreements.”
“In the alternative, Plaintiff seeks an order of this Court declaring that the agreements in the forms set out in Exhibits 1 and 2 are invalid, unenforceable, and/or void under the doctrine of unconscionability.” STORMY DANIELS lawsuit
In recent days, The White House has pressed the narrative that Donald Trump never knew of any “hush” money or agreement and that if it did occur, it was an independent action by Michael Cohen. However, Stormy Daniels and her attorney are calling BS.
Their lawsuit states that Trump certainly knew of Cohen’s attempts to silence Daniels, since rules for the New York bar, of which Cohen is a member, require him to keep his client informed at all times. “[I]t strains credulity to conclude that Mr. Cohen is acting on his own accord and without the express approval and knowledge of his client Mr. Trump.”
Additionally, the lawsuit states that in January 2018, Cohen, “concerned the truth would be disclosed … through intimidation and coercive tactics, forced Ms. Clifford into signing a false statement wherein she stated that reports of her relationship with Mr. Trump were false.”
If Donald Trump had only remembered to sign the deal, none of this would be happening. Instead, Stormy Daniels is very likely to win her lawsuit and to continue discussing intimate details of her love affair with the man in the Oval Office. However, since Trump supporters and evangelicals have already proven that they couldn’t care less about his life of indiscretions, don’t expect “The Donald” to ever pay a price for his porn star passions.
