Trump's Attempt to Silence Stormy Daniels Resurfaces Before 2024 Election

Documents reveal Trump's lawyers sought a non-disparagement agreement with Stormy Daniels in exchange for settling legal fees.

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys proposed a settlement with Stormy Daniels to prevent her from making disparaging remarks about him before the 2024 election.
The proposal involved Daniels paying a reduced amount of $620,000 instead of the $652,362.23 she owed in legal fees, contingent on her agreement to remain silent.
Daniels' lawyer confirmed that they settled on $627,500 without agreeing to the non-disparagement clause, effectively dismissing the judgments against her.
Trump's earlier conviction on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records related to a previous hush-money payment to Daniels remains unresolved with sentencing delayed until after the election.
Trump's campaign denied the authenticity of the documents, claiming they were obtained through illegal means, a statement contradicted by Daniels' legal team.
