tonight there s a new lult. stormy daniels is suing the president over defamation. it is over the sketch of a man she says tleltenned her years ago after talk about her alleged sexual encounter. he tweeted a total con job playing the fake news media for fools but they know it. joining me now is cnn legal analyst. we made it known in the day after the president sending this tweet. we were considering whether to bring in in connection with a separate lawsuit. we believe effectively that the president called my client a liar. by saying it s a con job.
stormy daniels filing a new lawsuit, this time against the president himself instead of his personal attorney. now claiming donald trump tried to ruin her reputation after he had released a sketch last month of a man she says threatened her and her young daughter in 2011 to stay quiet about donald trump. the president followed that sketch with this tweet. calling the man not existent and the whole thing a total con job. does stormy daniels have a case here and what is this all about? with me right now, cnn legal analyst paul callan is here with me. paul, also to be clear, you have a lot of questions about stormy daniels attorneys approach on this, strategy on this, why? i think it is an extraordinarily difficult defamation case. suing somebody for defamation, that is for attacking your professional reputation or accusing you of being a criminal and damaging that reputation is very difficult. even a strong case is difficult.
