Stormy Daniels' manager says the porn star 'is going to tell her story'
Washington (CNN)A
manager for the porn star who was reportedly paid $130,000 by President
Donald Trump's personal lawyer claims the agreement between the two is
no longer valid.
Gina
Rodriguez, a manager for Stephanie Clifford, who is also known as
Stormy Daniels, said Wednesday that Clifford believes Michael Cohen
voided the non-disclosure agreement with her by admitting he paid
Clifford $130,000.
Rodriguez added: "Everything is off now, and Stormy is going to tell her story."
The Associated Press first reported Wednesday that Clifford now believes she is free to talk about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump.
In a statement released Tuesday night,
Cohen said he paid Clifford in 2016, and claimed that the exchange was
"lawful" and "not a campaign contribution expenditure by anyone."
Following the reports of Cohen's statement on Tuesday, as well as a story published by The Daily Beast
this week regarding a book proposal by Cohen, Rodriguez told the
Associated Press that Clifford now believes he violated the
non-disclosure agreement.
Cohen
reportedly set up a private LLC shortly before the 2016 presidential
election to pay Clifford, following an alleged July 2006 sexual
encounter with Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported in January.
Following initial reports
last month that Cohen had made the payment, the lawyer said in a
statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
"Just
because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm
or damage," Cohen's statement Tuesday said. "I will always protect Mr.
Trump."
