Trump Scraps 💲20m Lawsuit Against Stormy Daniels Over Affair Claim.

President Donald Trump does not believe actress Stormy Daniels‘ hush-money deal, which his former personal lawyer said was done to influence the 2016 presidential election, is valid and will not sue her for breaking the agreement by discussing details of their alleged affair.

In a court filing on Saturday, an attorney for the company set up to handle the deal offered to rescind Ms Daniels’ nondisclosure agreement. The company, Essential Consultants, also scrapped a threatened $20m (£15.4m) lawsuit against Ms Daniels.

The two developments could kill efforts by Ms Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, to force the president to give sworn testimony about what he and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, might have known about the deal if a judge agrees to dismiss the case. The offers remove any legal risk to Ms Daniels stemming from her public discussion of the alleged affair and the alleged efforts to hide it.
