Judge S. James Otero, the Californian judge to decide the Stormy Daniels‘ non-disclosure agreement (NDA) dispute against President Donald Trump and Michael Cohen, has moved a scheduled hearing to the same day that Paul Manafort‘s second trial is set to begin. The coincidence in the timing is as surreal as the one in which both Manafort and Michael Cohen-Trump’s former Attorney-were found guilty on August 21st, last month.
Manafort was found guilty in the Eastern District of Virginia on eight of 18 bank and tax fraud counts against him. His case has now been moved to the same day that Paul Manafort‘s second trial is set to begin, on September 24- just over 2 weeks time.
Stormy Daniels’ case, which has been on hold for months has now been moved to the same date. Under the alleged arrangement, Ms Clifford was paid $130,000 (£100,800) just before the 2016 elections . The supposed deal was to prevent the porn star from speaking publicly about an affair that she insists took place between herself and president Trump. Trump’s signature was not on the agreement, leading to speculations he may be forced to testify about his knowledge in relation to the deal. Ms Clifford went on to disclose the deal, claiming that the president did not sign the agreement. The absence of his signature, in her opinion, made the deal null and void, although she kept the money. Clifford has made tonnes of money ever since her revelation of the affair, her profile rising exponentially in the process.
Stormy Daniels was offered a huge £1m to appear on Britain’s Celebrity big brother in August, but declined at the last moment citing a custody hearing about her daughter. Although Donald Trump has been a controversial president ever since is inauguration, The Eye Of Media’s official position is that no responsible media should glorify her because of any fame arising from her immoral act in sleeping with a married man and receiving hush money, only to enrich herself even more through the process. The Eye Of Media.Com’s Think Tank group has been making a note of those publications making a celebrity of Daniels, and plans to write to them after openly criticising what is being described as ‘non principled journalism. ‘ There will sure be a heck of a lot of publications to contact, if the United States is to be included, but heh, this publication’s principle is spot on. Only factual reporting and analysis about her story in relation to Trump can be morally justified, but converting a hungry story selling press will be no easy goal.
Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, argued that things should change because of Cohen’s plea.
“[N]ow that Mr. Cohen has admitted to his crimes under oath before the district judge in the Southern District of New York, there is no substantive justification for putting this case on hold,” he has argued. “A myriad of litigation activities may occur in this case that would not disturb what remains of Mr. Cohen’s Fifth Amendment rights.” The case will command world wide interest, especially with the unpredictable nature of this case in terms of where it is heading. Stormy Daniel’s profile has risen ever since her revelation
