The adult film star who allegedly had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump is suing the president, alleging the "hush" agreement that silenced the story was invalid.

Stormy Daniels filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, contending that the non-disclosure agreement she signed was invalid because Trump never signed it.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, and Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, signed the agreement on Oct. 28, 2016, 11 days before the election.

The lawsuit, first reported by NBC News, is the first time Daniels has openly admitted to having a "hush" agreement to cover up her relationship with Trump, which she says lasted from 2006 to 2007, according to the lawsuit.

Neither Cohen nor White House officials immediately responded to requests for comments about the lawsuit Tuesday evening.

In the lawsuit, filed by Los Angeles attorney Michael Avenatti, Daniels argues that because the agreement is invalid, she's under no obligation to remain silent. But the lawsuit says attempts to "intimidate" her "into silence and 'shut her up' in order to 'protect Mr. Trump' continue unabated."

As recently as Feb. 27 of this year, Cohen began "a bogus arbitration proceeding" against Daniels in Los Angeles to keep her quiet, the lawsuit argues. The agreement, attached as an an exhibit to the lawsuit, specifies arbitration as a way to resolve disputes.
Last month, Cohen admitted to paying Daniels $130,000 but did not say what the payment was for. He said he used his personal funds to "facilitate" the payment and was not reimbursed by the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization.

The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Cohen arranged the payment with Daniels to keep her from publicly discussing the alleged sexual encounter during the presidential campaign.

After the report, In Touch published a 2011 interview with Daniels in which she claimed she and Trump had a sexual encounter after meeting at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev., a year after his marriage to Melania Trump, his third wife.


In the lawsuit filed Tuesday, Daniels argues that Trump likely knows about Cohen's ongoing attempts to silence her because the rules of the New York Bar Association, of which Cohen is a member, require that he keep his client informed of his activities.

"It strains credulity to conclude that Mr. Cohen is acting of his own accord without the express approval and knowledge of his client Mr. Trump," the lawsuit adds.

Americans knew from the Begining that the charlatan is not worth that exalted office. A lot of buyers remorse is going on in America right now but Third World a*s lickers like you can't differentiate. Mark November 6 down and see the kind of Avalanche that will bury the RepubliKKKan Party.

Like you have a say in US about the politics. Tend to the titanic first and stop making a fooool of yourself. Hope you get your independence from Trump. The clock is still ticking and I can assure you that nothing good will come out of Trampy presidency.
