Washington sources reported that US President Donald Trump has won an arbitration proceeding against adult film actress Stormy Daniels, his spokeswoman said on Wednesday, a day after Daniels sued Trump for the right to speak about the "intimate relationship" she claims they had. Meanwhile a lawyer for Trump filed the arbitration proceeding against Daniels last week to seek a restraining order to "shut her up" and "protect Mr. Trump," her lawsuit claims.
Further according to the lawsuit, Trump never signed a non-disclosure agreement arranged between Cohen and Clifford to keep her quiet about their alleged affair and Trump's failure to sign the "hush agreement" renders the pact invalid and she is free to talk about their relationship, the lawsuit claims.
Meanwhile Clifford's lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said
she had faced threats by Cohen and others of legal penalties of USD 1 million
if she spoke about Trump after signing the hush agreement. Furthermore Cohen's
lawyer, Lawrence Rosen, confirmed in a statement that Cohen obtained an order
from an arbitrator prohibiting Clifford from disclosing confidential
information covered by the non-disclosure agreement.
