Stormy Daniels's attorney on Friday said that his client had been threatened with physical harm in connection to her alleged affair with President Trump.

Asked on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" whether Daniels had ever been threatened with physical harm, the lawyer, Michael Avenatti, succinctly replied, "Yes."

It wasn't clear who allegedly threatened Daniels or what the exact nature of the threats were.

TRUMP'S ATTORNEY: STORMY DANIELS VIOLATED HUSH AGREEMENT, COULD PAY $20 MILLION

President Trump's attorney Michael Cohen claims adult film actress Stormy Daniels violated a nondisclosure agreement and could have to pay $20 million in damages, according to the Washington Post.

Cohen claims Daniels violated the nondisclosure agreement 20 times, which would amount to him being entitled to $20 million in damages, the newspaper reported. He asked for the damages in a court filing on Friday, the same day a high-profile attorney signed on to the case.

The "threat" is probably the usual social media crap flying around but it makes good headlines to get people to watch "the show".

So ... how many affairs has Trump had while married to Melania?  We know that he had affairs before he met Melania and his affair with Stormy isn't going to go away.  It doesn't matter if she violates a non-disclosure agreement or not, it would seem that the affair happened otherwise Trump's lawyer wouldn't have admitted to paying her out of personal funds.  Her now coming forward and saying that she was threatened physically is going to have impact especially now that the Me Too Movement is going on. 

She is going to do an interview on 60 Minutes on March 25.  That is a major network and a prime time slot.  It's going to be interesting to see the ratings.

We once again have a sitting President accused of sexual misconduct.  So far as I can tell, Trump has not denied the affair.  White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked directly whether Trump knew of or authorized the payment by Cohen to Daniels and she responded that she was not aware of it and referred them to Trump's outside counsel.

Not directly, but he has denied it through Cohen and Sanders.

Is that "sexual misconduct"? He wasn't even President and what is being claimed is consensual sex, not something else. The only apparent legal issue is where the money came from to pay for her silence.

Trump doing porn stars, playboy bunnies or the wives of powerful men is of no surprise. He's bragged about it numerous times. It would seem to be difficult to claim $20 million in damages for something entirely similar that he's freely admitted to over the years.

Ok ... you are correct, she consented to the affair therefor it wouldn't be sexual misconduct but infidelity.  The problem now is Stormy is claiming that she was threatened physically.  Not sure by whom, but I would think that issue is going to come out during the 60 Minute interview.  Unless she has audio or visual tapes of the threat, it's gong to be very difficult to prove legally, but certainly people will be making their own decision and judging. The legal issue is one thing, how it affects his Trump's role as president is another.

That physical violence threat claim is very vague, at least what I've heard of it. It could well be threats from hardcore Trump supporters and nothing more. The usual social media crap. It makes a great headline to get people to watch the show.
