Stormy Daniels Was Threatened With 'Physical Harm' to Stay Silent About Trump Affair: Lawyer
"I think it will become apparent to people when they tune in to 60 minutes on March 25 as to the details relating to the threat," Daniels' attorney said.
Mar 16, 2018
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Friday morning, Michael Avenatti--the lawyer of porn star Stormy Daniels--claimed that his client has been physically threatened to remain silent about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump.
"Yes," Avenatti responded when asked by MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski if Daniels has been threatened with "physical harm."
"I think it will become apparent to people when they tune in to '60 minutes' on March 25 as to the details relating to the threat," Avenatti added, referring to a CBS interview that is set to air later this month. "The American people can judge for themselves on who's telling the truth and who's not telling the truth."

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
