Another Trump Lawyer Signed Stormy Daniels Gag-Order Documents

A top lawyer for the Trump Organization was involved in trying to enforce a secrecy agreement that adult film star Stormy Daniels signed in exchange for $130,000 before the 2016 election, new documents show.

Jill A. Martin, whose LinkedIn profile says she is assistant general counsel for the company, last month signed two legal papers linked to a temporary restraining order against the actress, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.

It’s the latest link between the Trump organization and efforts to silence Clifford, who says in a lawsuit that she had an "intimate" relationship with Donald Trump a decade before he became president.

Trump denies her allegations, and White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said last week that as far as she knows, the president was not aware his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, paid off Clifford through a company called EC.

But Clifford’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, said Martin’s signature on the paperwork is another piece of evidence that Trump knew about the nondisclosure agreement, the payment and the more recent efforts to stop his client from talking.

"These documents effectively show that contrary to Mr. Cohen’s representations, there is little to no difference between EC LLC and The Trump Organization/Donald Trump."

"It didn't happen and you're not allowed to tell anybody about it!"

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said Saturday that “at least” 10 people have offered to cover the $1 million penalty the adult star would incur should she speak out about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a civil suit against the president in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, claiming that since Trump never signed the confidentiality agreement, it’s null and void.

Asked by CNN’s Michael Smerconish whether anyone “offered to pony up the million dollars to protect her,” her lawyer, Avenatti, said: “At least 10 individuals in the last three days alone.”

I’m sure and I doubt some names would surprise anyone.

She's also started a fund-raising page for her defense fund.  As of this hour, she's raised over $100K from over 3,700 people.

Also from the story at The Wrap.

According to the confidentiality agreement Daniels must pay Trump $1 million for each breach of the agreement. But Daniels’ lawyers said he wasn’t worried about it.

“No court in California would ever enforce that,” he said.

If he really believes that, why bother with the lawsuit?
