Stephanie Clifford’s Lawyer Seeks to Depose Trump over Nondisclosure Agreement

HeadlineMar 28, 2018

The lawyer for adult film actress Stephanie Clifford—better known as Stormy Daniels—is asking a California judge for permission to depose President Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen about the $130,000 nondisclosure agreement Clifford signed in the days before the 2016 presidential election requiring her to stay quiet about an alleged 2006 affair with Trump. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, says he’s seeking to question both Trump and Cohen to find out what Trump knew about the agreement, and whether he consented to it. Her lawyer also says at least eight other women have come forward with similar accusations against the president, with at least two saying they were also paid to keep quiet.
