Adult film star Stormy Daniels sued Donald Trump Tuesday, alleging that he never signed the nondisclosure agreement that his lawyer had arranged with her.

The civil suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by NBC News, alleges that her agreement not to disclose her "intimate" relationship with Trump is not valid because while both Daniels and Trump's attorney Michael Cohen signed it, Trump never did.

“It’s tough, I like conflict, I like having two people with different points of view – and I certainly have that – and then I make a decision,” he said at a joint press conference with visiting Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. “But I like watching.

The President wasn't talking about the type of conflict you're promoting.

He went on to describe the conflict of ideas that produce better results.

What exactly is she suing the President for?

You don’t believe he will have discussions about how to address this?

Of course ... but that's not what he was referring to today.

But you know this.

You’re being silly, if you think it only applies to today and not any other event that comes up for discussion.

   NO, I haven't @Frank Cannon and I DJ'd in a boobie Bar near Hobby Airport in Houston for a few hours after the owner fired the 'o'riginal guy.  I was playing the stuff the girls requested but they weren't dancing so the Owner fired me too, the girls blamed me, I quit drinking there, my wife divorced me anyway.

        I'm more worried about Putin than Stormy.

It is my understanding that many times, in these delicate agreements, the primary will put in place a limited power of attorney that authorized the lawyer to sign on the primary's behalf.

Seems like that kind of puts them in a tough spot, though.  Cohen will either have to say he represented Trump in this NDA or Trump will have to say he had nothing to do with it.  Both invite unwanted attention.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have.  And, what's with the "whore" business?  Anyone who you disagree with becomes a whore.  Not a very compelling argument and it makes you look a bit unhinged.

@Frank Cannon Actually quite a few. Perhaps it is time for you to look for a better class of people to hang out with.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Because Trump didn't pay him back?  (Obviously, assuming there is any truth to this story.  I'm not sure there is. )

I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that perhaps Cohen just isn't that good an attorney (despite Trump's claim about hiring only the best people).   It seems as though he's mismanaged this Stormy Daniels situation from the git-go:  he initially denied the WSJ story as "fake news" even though they had proof that Cohen set up the shell companies associated with the story; then when the NYT came out with a followup story, Cohen acknowledged the $130K payment but said he paid it "out of his own pocket" (sure); he said neither the Trump organization or the Trump campaign knew anything about the payment (yet he was shockingly silent on whether Trump himself knew about it); his handling of the "affair" has opened up allegations of violations of campaign finance laws; and then there's Cohen's infamous statement:  “Just because something isn’t true, doesn’t mean that it can’t cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump.”  This statement has been used in both the complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission by a nonpartisan watchdog group and in Stormy Daniels' recent lawsuit. 
I adore facts and data and abhor lies and liars.

Sarah Sanders says -- as far as she knows -- Trump didn't know of porn star payment

Washington (CNN)White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday she wasn't aware that President Donald Trump knew of a payment made by his personal lawyer to the porn actress Stormy Daniels in October 2016.

And she said she didn't know whether Trump had spoken to his lawyer, Michael Cohen, over the past week.

"The President has addressed these directly and made very well clear that none of these allegations are true. It has already been won in arbitration. Anything in addition to that I would refer you to the President's outside counsel," Sanders said.

OK - so who was there as a representative for the arbitration proceedings?
