and he hoped that i would be willing to see him again and we would discuss the things that we had talked about earlier in the evening. being on the apprentice ? right. daniels said she and mr. trump stayed in trump. he invited her to a launch party in california as well as to his office in trump tower in new york. he definitely wanted to see you? for sure, yes. and this was not a secret. he never asked me not to tell anyone. he called several times when i was in front of people. and i would be like, oh my god, he is calling. and people were like, the donald? and i put him on speaker phone and he wanted to know what i was up to and when can we get to get again. we had a meeting, it went great, it s going to be spectator. they re totally into the idea. that part i never believed. did you get the sense that he was dangling it in front of you. for sure. oh, yeah. to keep you interested, to keep you coming back? of course. i m not blind. but at the same time, maybe it wou
monetary damages that she suffered by way of his defamatory statements. above all else, she wants her name clear. she doesn t appreciate the misstatements and half truths. that michael cohen and others spread to the american people. she is going to prove that what she said to you on 60 minutes was 100% accurate and she is credible. we are going to show that what she told and you the american people was the truth. and what michael cohen, the spin that he has been trying to sell to the american people is a bunch of rushish, whether it be about my client, the $130,000, the fact that mr. trump supposedly knew nothing about this, it doesn t add up. american people are smarter than this. the idea that, i believe you have received a cease and decyst letter from an attorney basically saying because of that, the allegations that stormy daniels made that
i get the call, i think i have the best deal from you. from your lawyer? yeah. the deal was an offer not to tell her story. it came from mr. trump s attorney michael cohen in return for signing this nondisclosure agreement, cohen would pay her $130,000 through a delaware behaved limited liability corporation he established in mid october 2016 called essential consultants. daniels says the agreement was appealing because it meant she would be receiving money but not have to worry about the effect the revelation of the affair would have on her child. who is now old enough to watch the news. she signed the agreement 11 days before the election. was it hush money to stay silent? yes. the story was coming out again. i was concerned for my family and their safety. i think some people watching this are going to doubt that you entered into this negotiation because you feared for your safety. they are going to think that you saw an opportunity. i think the fact that i
