Adult film star Stormy Daniels confirmed Wednesday that she met with prosecutors at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office as part of an ongoing investigation into a silence payment she received from Donald Trump’s lawyer in 2016.
Clark Brewster, the attorney representing Ms. Daniels, tweeted the news Wednesday afternoon. His client retweeted her thanking him and took a veiled shot of her ex-lawyer Michael Avenatti.
“At the request of the Manhattan DA’s office, Stormy Daniels and I met with prosecutors today. Stormy responded to questions and agreed to make herself available as a witness, or for further inquiry if necessary,” wrote Mr. Brewster.
Ms Daniels added: “Thank you to my wonderful lawyer (who always spells my name correctly) for helping me in our ongoing fight for truth and justice.”
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office reportedly took a renewed interest in Stormy Daniels’ case last year, and only in recent weeks has it moved to a full grand jury investigation. just days ago, New York times It reported that the DA had contacted Mr. Trump to invite him to testify in his defence, a move the former president declined but believed to precede an imminent indictment.
The Daniels case dates back to 2016, when then-Trump aide Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 before the presidential election in exchange for her silence on allegations of an affair with Trump. The former president has always denied that this case happened, but he still compensated his lawyer for these silent payments.
Federal prosecutors will continue to charge Cohen with making an illegal campaign contribution over the Daniels payments, and they include Mr. Trump in the matter. Cohen pleaded guilty and served a prison sentence for this and other charges.
