Washington (CNN)The lawyer representing Stormy Daniels, the porn star suing President Donald Trump, claimed Friday that she has faced physical threats.
"My client was physically threatened to stay silent about what she knew about Donald Trump," Michael Avenatti told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." He said more details would be forthcoming in Daniels' upcoming interview on CBS's "60 Minutes," which is scheduled to air later this month.

CNN has reached out to Larry Rosen, a lawyer representing Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, and Jill Martin, a Trump Organization lawyer who has been involved in legal matters related to the Daniels allegations.

away from this story, again today.

Otherwise, how would they know?

(1,474 posts)3. This story just got real
Porn star sex and campaign finance violations were easy for deplorables to think "trump is trump. so what?".
BUT
Threats of violence and physical intimidation is a whole new deal. Wow! The next few days will be interesting, frightening, or catastrophic. Shit just got so real.

I think that it is great that Trump is having to deal with someone whose main goal is simply to get a bigger pay-day. There is a bit of Karma involved. The only way for Stormy to really get a huge pay-day is if she gets to sing. Keep up the fight, Stormy. Too bad you signed the agreement during the election.

to trump . . . . yet

Why should we give them the benefit of the doubt?
