outfront. none of us would ever imagine he would do something like this. it s completely inconsistent with his character and our own personal experiences. because of that, i believe him when he says he didn t do anything inappropriate with women. so she s a vice president and assistant general counsel to the trump organization. so back to the arbitration case, ms. martin did win a temporary restraining order because the nondisclosure agreement stormy daniels signed said an action could be brought against her without any advance notice. that s an assertion that ms. daniels current attorney, michael avenatti, strongly disputes. tonight we received a statement from ms. martin on behalf of the trump organization. it reads, quote, as previously reported, lawrence rosen, a new york attorney, is representing ec, llc in the arbitration. the trump organization is not representing anyone, and with the exception of one of its california-based attorneys in her individual capacity facilitating
keeps quiet about it. another one of trump s attorneys is involved in the ongoing legal battle. had this is one of the documents. it is a demand for arbitration. she lists her address as 1 trump national drive. it is signed by an attorney named jill a. martin. there is not much room for doubt that ms. martin has been an employee for trump. this is her linked in page and here is her california state bar page. as far as arbitration grows and a declaration labelled highly confidential. those initials stand for
