Second lawyer tied to Trump was involved in court action to keep Stormy Daniels quiet, new document shows

By Washington Post Staff March 14 at 8:47 PM

A top attorney for the Trump Organization filed secret legal documents to keep Stormy Daniels from talking about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump, the first known link between Trump’s company and the effort to silence the porn star.

The documents, filed as part of confidential arbitration proceedings on Feb. 22, were made public Wednesday evening by CNN and the Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post confirmed their authenticity with Michael Avenatti, a lawyer for Daniels.

In a statement, the Trump Organization said it was not representing anyone in the Daniels dispute and “had no involvement in the matter.” One of its attorneys, Jill A. Martin, filed a document in her personal capacity while awaiting permission for another lawyer, not connected to the company, to practice in California, the statement said.

Daniels alleges that in the days leading up to the 2016 presidential election, she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has acknowledged making that payment, saying the money came from his home equity line of credit.

2. So all these people were just doing favors for Trump

... only because they liked him so much. It’s nothing more than a passing coincidence they also happened to be on his payroll and were using his resources and name in the process.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a Trump supporter.
