Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told In Touch that she had dinner and sex with Trump one night during the tournament. “My client was physically threatened to stay silent about what she knew about Donald Trump,” Avenatti said on CNN last week. If Daniels can demonstrate that she was threatened before signing the nondisclosure agreement in October 2016, then she might have a better shot at voiding the contract. Trump attorney Michael Cohen says he used his own funds to pay Daniels to sign the nondisclosure agreement. The Wall Street Journal reported its existence in January, prompting In Touch to unearth the 2011 interview it had buried.
