attorney michael cohen is trying to silence adult film star stormy daniels from speaking out about her intimate relationship with donald trump. according to documents obtained by nbc news, cohen got a secret temporary restraining order against daniels just over a week ago from a private arbitrator. the order barred her from disclosing confidential information related to a non-disclosure agreement signed in october of 2016. daniels, whose real name is stephanie clifford, filed a lawsuit against the president on tuesday alleging a non-disclosure agreement she previously signed is invalid because mr. trump never signed it. according to the suit, cohen attempted to intimidate her and shut her up by initiating what the lawsuit calls a bogus arbitration hearing against her.
it s really a battle playing out in cities that are trying no, ma amlyto provide that protection. still ahead, senator joins us onset at the top of the hour. also, jared kushner continues to play secretary of state. downgraded clearance and all. this time meeting with the mexican president and foreign minister with the u.s. ambassador for mexico. we ll discuss the implications for u.s. foreign policy. plus. the president of the united states needs to answer the basic questions relateding to relationship. do so just like bill clinton did. do so like gary did. do so like countless other politicians have done over the last 30 years. how does the stormy daniels
statements to the wall street journal and the new york times and anyone who would loose is that ec is different than donald trump. if it s different for the purposes of the payment it s different for purposes of the arbitration. you can t win something you re not a party to. did stormy daniels tell intouch magazine the details of her relationship with donald trump. absolutely. if she s provided a forum to tell her story, the american people are going to decide she s telling the truth. that s what this is about, this is about my clienteling her story, telling her version of the events and let the chips fall where they may. let the american people decide who s telling the truth. is it stormy daniels shooting straight with them or donald trump? is it stormy daniels or michael cohen? is it stormy daniels or ms. sanders? we re confident in the outcome
this case has already been won in arbitration and anything beyond that i would refer you to the president s outside counsel. you said there s arbitration that s already been won by whom and by when? by the president s personal attorneys for details on that i would refer you to them. for details we turn to stormy daniels s attorney. thank you for joining us tonight. i want to get your reaction to what the white house press secretary just said there. how do i say this kindly? nonsense. absolute nonsense. i personally like ms. sanders i think she has a near impossible job but the fact of the matter is i m confident she didn t know it was nonsense when she effectively told that to the world. but it s absolutely bogus. it s nonsense. any claim by the administration that donald trump won in arbitration is no different than me claiming i won the super bowl a few weeks ago.
again, when can i see you again. stormy daniels s lawsuit claims that her confidentiality agreement has been breached by michael cohen when cohen told the new york times in a private transaction in 2016 i used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to ms. stephanie clifford, beneathter trump organization or the trump campaign was party to the transaction and neither reimbursed me for the claim. they also say it s void because president trump never signed it in the space for the signature of david denison. today the press secretary said this. the president has addressed this directly and made very well clear that none of these allegations are true.
