The lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels told NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday that his client had a sexual relationship with President Trump, and is looking to disclose the truth about the encounter.

In an interview with Savannah Guthrie, attorney Michael Avenatti responded "yes," when asked point-blank whether his client had a sexual relationship with then-businessman Trump in 2006, whose youngest son Barron Trump was born the same year.

"She’s looking to disclose the truth about what happened,” Avenatti said. "At this point, in light of the amount of misinformation that Mr. Cohen has put out there to The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and others, I think it's time for her to tell her story and for the public to decide who's telling the truth."

Avenatti went on to add that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Cliffords, is free to talk about the encounter because the president refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement orchestrated by his lawyer, Michael Cohen, in order to later claim deniability.

1. Hmmm?

I think we already know what happened.

[MGKrebs]

2. If she took the money, that may be taken as assuming the contract was in effect.

But they (Team Orange Rambo) would have to admit that the contract exists and is valid to make that claim. Which opens up a whole 'nuther can of worms for them.

3. And, Melania (Trophy Wife) is still there

[groundloop]

10. She's probably still under contract

[Auggie]

12. +1

18. .

19. I thought Stormy was the contractor and -

Melania was the full time employee

[Javaman]

21. my prediction is that as soon as the orange asshole is indicted...

she files for divorce.

the poorly built house of trump crumbles.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. How gross. And people shake hands w/ this so called president? What an adulterous husband...

He's a fraud and a crook, and disgusting too.

[Squinch]

5. The religious right "forgives" him in 3..2..1..

As long as he keeps reducing protections on the elderly, people of color, women, veterans, the disabled, they'll forgive him for anything.

Cause that's what Jesus would do.

[world wide wally]

6. I thought she had changed her name to "Stormy Mulligan"

[KPN]

7. Gee, why aren't the family values folks

going batshit crazy over this?!

11. Some gullible souls believe that...

That since our liar-in-thief Trump 'says' he's seen the light, bow's his head in prayer (to look the part) and invites fundie ministers (who help beef up his base) into his office that he's a 'christian' now. To them this means that God has forgiven him all of his sins so they should too.

There are many Christians that believe merely asking forgiveness, even for sins you keep doing, is all you need to do to wipe the slate clean with God and get a ticket through the Pearly Gates.

Personally I think the RW 'christian' ministers selling Trump, raking in big bucks with fancy houses and trying to force their 'beliefs' down the throats of others are a much more 'anti Christ' than 'Christian'.

[KPN]

13. And many Christians believe Trump is a tool that God sent them

to assist in their crusade; his actual "Christianity" is irrelevant in that context.

[WePurrsevere]

22. It wouldn't surprise me. Thankfully I rarely run into minions like that. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

8. So this is how Trump will maintain the spotlight when he's out of office?

Guess it's better than irrelevance

[brooklynite]

9. "she's looking to disclose the truth..."

...for the right price.

[bluestarone]

14. for some UNKNOWN reason the religious right will

Stand behind this GLOB OF SHIT through the GATES OF HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bitterross]

15. It just doesn't matter. That is the sad reality.

This really doesn't matter. He's in office, it's not something that happened while he's in office.

His PBR Drinking, NASCAR, white supremacist base will actually LOVE it. They all want to sleep with a porn start so this is just more stuff to make them like him.

If we were still in an election it might, big emphasis on the might, sway independents against him. We're not in an election.

It's great ratings and click-bait. But other than that, it's just one more 45 distraction.

[smirkymonkey]

16. All I have to say is....

Gross.

[Major Nikon]

17. Lordy I hope there's a blue dress

[sandensea]

20. Which means that as much as it irks Ivanka,

they have so much in common.

[Lugnut]

23. Ewwww.
