The salacious report from the Wall Street Journal on Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels continues to fall apart
The Wall Street Journal report that President Donald Trump‘s attorney Michael Cohen arranged a non-disclosure agreement and payment with the lawyer of porn star Stormy Daniels is like all fake news falling apart.
In response to the Journal’s story, Trump’s attorney Cohen denied the main allegations regarding an affair and hush money, though he did not address the existence of a $130,000 transaction involving Clifford.
“These rumors have circulated time and again since 2011. President Trump once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels,” Cohen said in a statement.
He also provided a copy of a statement signed by the actress.
“I recently became aware that certain news outlets are alleging that I had a sexual and/or romantic affair with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago,” Clifford writes in the letter, which Cohen provided to news outlets, including The Daily Caller.
“I am stating with complete clarity that this is absolutely false,” she continued, adding that she considered Trump to be “gracious, professional and a complete gentleman.”
“Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false,” she wrote.
“If indeed I did have a relationship with Donald Trump, trust me, you wouldn’t be reading about it in the news, you would be reading about it in my book. But the fact of the matter is, these stories are not true.”
