Mr. Cohen’s own lawyer, Brent H Blakely, demanded that Daniels or Mr Avenatti apologize to his client for alleging intimidation.
“In truth, Mr Cohen had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any such person or incident, and does not even believe that any such person exists, or that such incident ever occurred,” he said, asserting that Daniels and Mr Avenatti should “cease and desist from making any further false and defamatory statements about my client”.
The lawyer of President’s Trump’s Attorney has demanded an apology from a former porn star who alleged Donald Trump had an affair with her back in 2011. Daniels told the 60 Minutes show she had consensual sex once with the future president, providing a few salacious details but little new evidence.
She received a 130,000 dollar (£91,000) payment a few days before the 2016 presidential election for her silence but has gone all out to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement which she by her own admission, she is already breaching. She does not believe the none disclosure agreement she had is legal, simply because it was not signed by Trump.
Trump’s lawyer, Mr Cohen has already claimed he paid the money out of his own pocket, but still maintaining Mr Trump never had sex with the porn actress. The reason for the payment was to supposedly keep the porn actress silent from spreading a made up rumor. Trump unwittingly shot himself in the foot when many decades before his candidature for the 2016 U.S presidential elections, he voluntarily gloated the freedom power and fame had brought him and enabled him to touch women where he liked without any complaint raised.
Daniels emerged out of the woodworks and chose to capitalize on the public condemnation levelled against Trump at the time. She revealed an alleged affair she had with the current U.S President, an affair which has been vehemently denied by Trump’s ever since
“He knows I’m telling the truth,” Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, said of Mr Trump. She said she was not coerced to have sex and “I was not a victim”. She later alleged she was intimidated by a man who told her to forget about the Trump story and claims to have been intimidated by it on numerous occasions since then.
Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, admitted no direct evidence tying the threat to Mr Trump or his lawyer Michael Cohen, but said he was holding back certain details of the alleged affair, including the contents of a CD or DVD he tweeted a picture of last week.
“It would make no sense for us to play our hand as to this issue and we’re not going to do it right now,” he said on NBC on Monday.
