she was threatened in 2011 in a parking lot in las vegas by somebody who came up to her and said something to the effect stop talking about mr. trump and looked at her infant daughter, and said, beautiful little girl, it would be a shame if something happened to her mother. are you accusing michael cohen or anyone from the trump organization of having sent that individual? not yet. but whale say is this. there s only three griechz people that person would have been sent by. first is my client and that doesn t make sense. the second group it would have been magazine. would have been after an interview with in touch magazine. and then according to the two employees of in touch magazine, that story never ran because mr. cohen threatened to sue. right, mr. cohen threatened
forget the story. and then he leaned around and looked at my my daughter and said, beautiful little girl, same if something happened to her mom and he was gone. you took it as a direct threat. exactly. i was rattled. my hands were shaking so much i was afraid i was going to drop her. did you see the person again? no. but if i did, i would know it right away. you would be able to recognize that person? 100%. even now. all these years later. if he walked in this door right now i would instantly know. did you go to the police? no. why? because i was scared. when a gossip website reported a few months later she had an affair with mr. trump, stormy daniels publicly denied it. five years later, donald trump won the rep nomination for president. suddenly people are reaching out to me again offering me money, large amounts of money. was i tempted? yes. i struggled with it.
anyway, and guess what, i don t have $1 million. you didn t even buy me breakfast. 15 months after she signed the nondisclosure agreement, the the wall street journal published this story quoting anonymous sources saying that mr. trump s attorney michael cohen paid her for her silence. daniels says she was not the source of the story, but she says she was pressured from her former attorney and business manager to sign statements that michael cohen released publicly denying she had had an affair with mr. trump. you signed and released a statement that said i am not denying this affair never happened. that s a lie? yes. if it was untruthful, why did you sign it? because they made it sound like i had no choice. no one was putting a gun to your head. not physical violence, no. you thought there would be legal repercussion.
week. and i said, okay, cool. well, i guess call me next week and i took my purse and left. according to daniels mr. trump called her the following month to say he had not been able to get her a spot on celebrity apprentice and said they had never met again. in may 2011, daniels agreed to tell her story. in may 2011 daniels agreed to tell her story to intouch magazine. two former employers tell us the story never ran because after the magazine called mr. trump seeking comment, trump s attorney, michael cohen, threatened to sue. daniels says she was never paid and says a few weeks later she was threatened by a man who approached her in las vegas. i was in a parking lot going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. i was taking the seats facing backwards in the backseat, the diaper bag, and a guy walked up to me and said to me leave trump alone,
agreement stormy daniels signed in 2016 when she was represented by a different lawyer was fedexed to cohen at his trump organization office in trump tower in new york. that is a copy of the federal express confirmation. the cover letter also identifies who he thought michael cohen was working for. to mr. cohen as executive vice president and special counsel to donald j. trump, the trump organization, again, listing the fifth avenue address. this idea that there is a separation between mr. cohn and the trump organization is nonsense. there are people who argue this is much ado about nothing. if this wasn t a story about an adult film actress and the president of the united states, no one would pay attention. this is about the coverup, this is about the extent that mr. cohn and the president have gone to intimidate this woman.
