I ended up with Donald in his hotel room. Picture him chasing me around his hotel room in his tighty-whities, Stormy Daniels told fellow porn star Alana Evans. [ ]Source: Daily Beast
According to the Journal, the payment was made as part of an agreement that precluded her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump. Daniels (given name: Stephanie Clifford) had reportedly been in talks with both ABCs Good Morning America and the parent company of the National Enquirer about going public with the allegations, with the latter dangling a $150,000 offer to the ex-adult film actress.
The Daily Beast had also been in protracted talks with Daniels about arranging an interview after three sourcesincluding fellow porn star Alana Evanstold The Daily Beast that Daniels and Trump were involved. She ultimately backed out on Nov. 3, just five days before the 2016 election.
Cohen on Friday did not address the alleged payout to Daniels but provided the following statement to The Daily Beast: These rumors have circulated time and again since 2011. President Trump once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels. The attorney also provided a letter dated Jan. 10, 2018, allegedly signed by Daniels, that denied any sexual and/or romantic affair with Trump or the receipt of any hush money from Trump.

(1,216 posts)tRump is not going to get in trouble because he had sex with some porn star. He is going to get in trouble for obstruction to justice. And banging a porn star has nothing to do with it. Do you know of any president who was impeached for extra marital affairs BEFORE becoming president?

4/ Fourth, understand that not only will Trump, Cohen, and Daniels deny the report, but that's the *point* of a) paying off Daniels, and b) Trump using his lawyer to do it. Cohen has attorney-client privilege; Daniels fears a lawsuit, any threats Cohen made, and losing her money.
5/ The reason this matters is that after BUZZFEED published the Steele Dossier, those of us who agreed with the FBI and CIA that it appeared credible on its face and came from a credible sourcethe former top Russianist at MI6were told it *couldn't* be true for several reasons.
6/ The main reason Trump's allies said the 35-page dossier had to be false is because they insisted that its *first page*which alleged that the Kremlin was blackmailing Trumpcouldn't be true and wasn't true. All of the reasons they gave just diedall at oncewith this WSJ news.

Again, Please enumerate any former president who was removed/impeached for extra-marital sex.

These are strange times. Things are happening now that could never have happened even 30 years ago, even ten years ago. We women are coming into our own and speaking up about matters we never dared to speak of in the past.

(3,515 posts)I've seen this change. It is unbelievable when I think about it. Women are strong, united and will soon be a genuine power in our country. It's about time. My grandmother, a very elegant, beautiful woman once said to my sister about a picture of her looking those things -- elegant and beautiful in a long dress, "Well, we didn't wear those long dresses when we worked in the fields." She was a farmer's wife, and she and my mother plowed fields with their feet.
My mother's generation -- WACs in WWII and teachers. My generation -- teachers, nurses, secretaries. Today -- doctor, lawyers (lots of them), scientists, police officer, military officers, politicians anything a woman wants.

(1,216 posts)I couldn't agree more with you about women coming out against sexual harassment. I have daughters in their 20's working in large outfits.
Now are you willing to say that having extra-marital affair with a porn star is same thing as sexual harassment?
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,007 posts)1) Relationships between porn stars and billionaires are never equal, so the consensual angle is a bit skewed at best.
2) Blackmail against any POTUS is your problem and ours and the USA's. If the WSJ can find this out, what do you think Putin's spy service has on him?

(3,181 posts)I don't know what moves a pornstar to do his/her job, or why some of them choose to escort, which seems to be what Ms. Daniels was doing. However, I don't feel comfortable questioning the sexual behavior of two adults if they have agreed voluntarily to engage in anything. I loathe Trump, but it seems the problem here is that he put himself in a position to be blackmailed. That I can agree with, but I honestly fail to see your point #1.
By the way, I am not a recent newcomer. I used to post here from 2007 to 2009 as Colobo. I was on the Obama camp during those primaries, and things got do heated that after Obama finally won the presidency, I decided to leave. I am glad to be back though.

(62,276 posts)I suspect after the National Enquirer offered her $150k for her story, as per non-disclosure, she had to go back to them and discuss it. At which point another hush payment was given, in order for her to stay silent. Non-disclosures of a public nature will be exempt if the information goes public (ie, you can't talk about X, but if X becomes public knowledge and you didn't do it, it's not your fault and you can technically talk about it). The National Enquirer likely found out Alana Evans knowledge, took it to Daniels, and that compelled Trump's people to talk to Daniels again, forcing Daniels to renegotiate the hush agreement.

(3,515 posts)And if I am correct, she can be subpoenaed to tell the truth in a deposition or courtroom in spite of any potential agreement. I'm not saying that their is an agreement or that the rumors are true, just that a subpoena would force her to speak. Or face contempt of court charges.
Am I right?
joshcryer
(62,276 posts)NDAs have zero weight in a court room or for legal reasons. In fact, the FBI may have to talk to her to see if the reports about the "tape" are convincing. Remember we're looking at a President who is allegedly blackmailed by Russia. If he shows a pattern of paying hush money to people, it could show how he is compromised.
Technically an NDA of that nature will have an eternity clause to it, but said clause becomes unenforceable once it becomes public knowledge.
