Oggi Avenatti ha offerto a Michael Cohen (l'avvocato di Trump) di rimettergli i $130,000 (che erano stati pagati a Stormy Daniels a ottobre 2016),
in scambio di permettere a Stormy Daniels di dare la sua versione completa su questo scandalo.

NEW YORK—The pornographic film actress who says she had an affair with President Trump offered on Monday to return $130,000 she received from Trump’s personal lawyer in 2016 for agreeing not to discuss the alleged relationship.
In exchange, the actress, Stephanie Clifford, seeks an end to her deal to keep quiet about what she says was an affair with Trump that started in 2006 and lasted for several months.
In the letter, which was sent to Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, early Monday, Clifford’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote that Clifford would wire the money into an account of Trump’s choosing by Friday.
Avenatti set a deadline of noon Tuesday for Cohen to answer the offer from Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels.
Under the terms of the deal detailed in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, the contract ensuring Clifford’s silence would be “deemed null and void” once she returned the sum called for in her original contract.
Under Avenatti’s offer, Clifford would then be allowed to “(a) speak openly and freely about her prior relationship with the President and the attempts to silence her and (b) use and publish any text messages, photos and/or videos relating to the President that she may have in her possession, all without fear of retribution and/or legal liability for damages.”
The letter also seeks an agreement that neither Trump nor the shell company that Cohen used to pay Clifford, which he represents as a party to their October 2016 deal, would move to block the broadcast of an interview that Clifford taped with 60 Minutes last week. The letter was also addressed to a lawyer working on the case with Cohen, Lawrence Rosen.
“As we have always said, this is about a search for the truth and the ability of Clifford to tell the American people what really happened so they can make their own determination,” Avenatti said in a statement. “Our offer proves this out.”
The offer puts the president and Cohen — who deny that Trump had an affair with Clifford — in a challenging position.
If they agree to Avenatti’s terms, Clifford can speak openly about not only the sexual relationship she claims to have had with Trump shortly after his wife, Melania, gave birth to the couple’s son, Barron, but also about what she describes as an effort to silence her “hush money.”
The money, which Cohen has said came from his own personal funds, is the subject of complaints lodged by the group Common Cause with the Federal Election Commission and Justice Department. Common Cause argues that the payment violated campaign finance laws.
Avenatti ha dato a Cohen fino a domani mezzogiorno 13 ottobre 2018 per accettare o rifiutare questa offerta.
Questa mossa da Avenatti sembra essere motivata dalle voci che circolano che Daniels ha doato un'intervista alla rete televisiova CBS (programma domenicale "60 Minutes") che
possibilmente verra messa in onda (se Cohen accetta) domenca prossima.
E' una mossa un poco audace dalla parte di Daniels (anche perche Avenatti chiede l'accordo di Trump!), ma penso che Cohen non abbocchera.
Ma rifutando questa offerta (che Cohen insiste i soldi vengono da tasca sua) Cohen sara visto come cercando e continuando di supprimere questa storia e zittire Daniels per sempre....
Devo ammettere che fino ad ora Daniels e Avennati stanno facendo la barba e shampoo a due "grandi" avversari come Cohen e Trump...

Penso che Cohen ha tutti gli interessi di tenere questo scandalo "imbottigliato" e andare avanti con l'arbitrato (datosi che sara fatto in segreto e in privato).
Ma li Cohen avra pure delle difficolta datosi che l'attore principale in quel contratto e' un certo "DD" (pseudonimo Trump), e che questo dovra dire pure la sua.
Tra pochi giorni Cohen dovra rispondere alla causa iniziata da Daniels, e chiarire come ha ottenuto quell'ordinanza temporanea la fine de febbraio 2018
impedendo a Daniels di parlare su pena di $1,000,000 di indemnita.
