Attorney: Stormy Daniels Was Threatened With Physical Harm

In a stunning revelation the attorney for former adult film star Stormy Daniels says his client was threatened with physical harm over her claims surrounding her relationship with Donald Trump. Daniels is suing the president, demanding the right to tell her story. Her attorney says the nondisclosure agreement is invalid because Trump neglected to sign it.
“There’s the act, and there’s the cover-up, and the American people are going to learn about both,” Michael Avenatti tells Friday’s “Morning Joe” panel on MSNBC.
CBS has scheduled Sunday, March 25, to air a supposed tell-all interview with Stormy Daniels that Trump is trying to block.
AS the interview with Avenatti drew to a close, a contemplative Mika Brzezinski out of the blue asked, “Was she threatened in any way?”
“Yes,” Avenatti responded immediately and definitively.
“Was she threatened physical harm?”
“Yes,” he responded again.
Asked by Joe Scarborough if the threats came from President Trump, Avenatti refused to say. When pressed, he refused to “confirm or deny” any more details, insisting all will be revealed when “60 Minutes” airs the interview.
“It will become apparent to people on March 25 as to the details related to the threat,” he concluded.
