Trump attorney Todd Blanche has recently addressed the allegations made by Stormy Daniels, emphasizing that the alleged incident took place 18 years ago in 2006. Both President Trump and Ms. Daniels have consistently denied the occurrence of the event, as stated by Blanche.
Blanche further argues that Michael Cohen, without informing President Trump, decided to pay $130,000 to Ms. Daniels in an attempt to gain favor with Trump during the campaign. Blanche asserts that the only source claiming Trump's knowledge of the payment is Michael Cohen himself, and there is no other evidence supporting this claim.
Blanche highlights that Daniels sought to remove allegations about Trump from a website in 2011, suggesting a motive related to selling the story. On the other hand, prosecutors state that Cohen made the payment to Daniels in 2016 through a shell company to secure her silence regarding an alleged affair with Trump in 2006. Trump has denied both the affair and involvement in the payment.
According to prosecutors, Daniels initially approached AMI executives, who then engaged Cohen on Trump's behalf. Prosecutors allege that Trump instructed Cohen to delay the payment until after the election to potentially avoid making it altogether.
In conclusion, the ongoing legal battle between Trump's attorney and Stormy Daniels continues to unfold, with conflicting accounts and allegations at the center of the controversy.
