An adult film actress who alleges she had an affair with Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit Monday against Trump.
“Stormy Daniels filed the complaint in federal court in New York on Monday,” the AP reports. “At issue is a tweet Trump made in which he dismissed a composite sketch that Daniels says depicted a man who threatened her in 2011 to stay quiet about her alleged relationship with Trump.”
Trump reportedly wrote in the tweet, sent out earlier this month: “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!”
The AP adds: “The filing says the tweet was ‘false and defamatory,’ arguing that Trump was speaking about Daniels and that he ‘knew that his false, disparaging statement would be read by people around the world, as well as widely reported.’ It also says Daniels has been ‘exposed to death threats and other threats of physical violence.’”
The report quotes Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti saying today: “We intend on teaching Mr. Trump that you cannot simply make things up about someone and disseminate them without serious consequences.”
Who actually cares about this?
North Korea and South Korea announce an end to hostilities, with South Korea specifically thanking Trump, and all the American media do is report on what Stormy Daniels is doing today.
Daniels is actually very smart – she knows she will get all the PR her career ever needed for free from the American media.
Since when did a one-night-stand become an affair? Seriously, Bill Clinton (allegedly) raped a woman. That didn’t stop him from being President. Seriously, We were on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea and now both sides are talking. Isn’t that a bit more important than a night of sex before Trump decided to run for President?
