Stephanie Clifford, the adult film performer and director who goes by Stormy Daniels, wants to be free to talk about her alleged relationship with President Donald Trump back in 2006.

In order to do so, her lawyer wrote in a letter sent on Monday, she's willing to return the $130,000 she was paid in 2016 as part of a settlement agreement that required her not to speak about or share any information about the alleged relationship.

In the letter, her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote to Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, that Daniels wants to be able to "speak openly and freely about her relationship with the President and the attempts to silence her."

That would serve tRump right. Stormy is getting lots of coverage anyway and I would bet most people believe her. The White House and tRump have already lost this one--even if they manage to shut Stormy up--too late.

So that Cohen's family can have some sense of security that they will in fact have some stability in their lives.

What a kind, generous act of the part of Stormy Daniels.

He should take her up on it, because he likely won't be working for Trump much longer.
