President Trump continues to deny that he paid pornography actress “Stormy Daniels” (Stephanie Clifford) with 2016 campaign funds. But that’s not stopping detractors, or Stormy, from continuing their legal bombardment of the administration.
Who Knew What?
Many in the White House feel bombarded as well. It seems that only a select few knew of the payments, including Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen and now Rudy Giuliani, a former presidential hopeful himself.
The news broke out about the alleged affair when Ms. Clifford sued the President to get out of the non-disclosure agreement she signed. She stipulates that the agreement was not legal because the President did not sign the contract himself. Trump’s legal team is countersuing Clifford for breaking the agreement.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is on the brunt end of press accusations as reporters ask if she lied when previously being questioned about the affair and the payments. Her refrain has been that she represented the truth as best she could with the information she had. It’s understandable that not all of Trump’s senior staff knew about the debacle. The President’s personal life is separate from his public life to some degree, and the White House helps to administer the government, not the President’s personal problems at law.
