White House Denies Stormy Daniels Threat Claims as She Sues Trump Lawyer for Defamation

The White House today denied claims by adult film star Stormy Daniels that she was threatened with physical harm if she ever spilled details about her affair with Donald Trump.

Daniels made the claims in last night’s 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper.

Daniels said a man approached her in a parking lot in Las Vegas when she was with her daughter, and said, “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.”

Said White House principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah: “With respect to that interview, I will say that the president strongly, clearly, and has consistently denied these underlying claims, and the only one who has been inconsistent is the one making the claims.”

Said Shah: “The president doesn’t believe that any of the claims that Miss Daniels made in the interview are accurate…There’s nothing to corroborate her claim.”

Brent Blakely, a lawyer for Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen, also pushed back on Daniels’ claims, demanding an apology:

“In truth, Mr. Cohen had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any such person or incident, and does not even believe that any such person exists, or that such incident ever occurred,” he said, asserting that Daniels and Avenatti should “cease and desist from making any further false and defamatory statements about my client.”

Daniels on Monday accused Cohen of defamation and added him to her case against Trump, the Washington Post reports:

Daniels amended her existing lawsuit against Trump, adding Cohen as a defendant in the pending case. The expansion of the lawsuit in a California federal court comes one day after the adult-film actress’s widely watched interview on “60 Minutes.”…

…Besides accusing Cohen of defamation, the amended complaint broadens Daniels’s contention that the confidentiality agreement was illegal, because it lacked Trump’s signature. The new complaint says the payment violated federal laws that impose limits on campaign donations and require those donations to be publicly reported.

MEanwhile, Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti taunted Trump over the ratings for the 60 Minutes interview, which were higher than any episode in 10 years.

Tweeted Avenatti: “Since this is what really matters (LOL), the ratings for my client’s @stormydaniels appearance on @60minutes last night CRUSHED (BY MILLIONS) any Apprentice show in the last ten years as well as Mr. Trump’s Nov 2016 appearance.”

#HRCTwitterTakeover with Sara Ramirez

On Monday, March 26, Sara Ramirez took over HRC’s Twitter to host a conversation about bisexual visibility in honor of Bisexual Health Awareness Month.

Hey Twitter! This is @SaraRamirez, artist and proud Mexican Irish American #immigrant #bisexual #queer #woman. To mark #BiHealthMonth, I’m doing an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about the need to address #biphobia and #bi-erasure. #BHAM18 pic.twitter.com/rOg9EeUFUD

Those of us who love more than one sex/gender use many different labels, but we share a common experience: our presence makes people uncomfortable. Our very existence as #bisexual threatens heteronormativity and the gender binary. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

#Bisexual, #queer, #pansexual, #fluid, non-monosexual folk are the single largest group within the #LGBTQ community, and we come in all Pantone shades, all genders, and no gender. We’re trans, cis, nonbinary. We’re ✨everywhere ✨. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/FRdJSfuyQE

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

But yet there are many #LGBTQ institutions and spaces where I don’t feel seen or I don’t feel recognized as a #bisexual, pansexual, queer person of color — and it is because of unchecked biphobia. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeovert.co/7rggVDgem7

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

⚠️ Biphobia seeks to undermine the legitimacy of our #bisexual, #queer, #pansexual and #fluid identities, and it comes in many forms: jokes, stereotypes, non-inclusive language and even abuse. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

It’s no coincidence that studies have shown alarming gaps in #bisexual access to health care-in part because more than a third of bisexual people reported avoiding disclosing their sexual orientation to medical providers.

When compared to heterosexual adults, #bisexual adults reported:
➕ higher rates of cancer and heart disease;
➕ double the rate of depression;
➕ higher rates of binge drinking.
—@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

Those numbers are even higher for #bisexual people who are also #transgender, people of color or people with disabilities — vulnerable at the intersections of biphobia, transphobia, racism and ableism. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

Our needs are not identical to the needs of gay and lesbian people — and that’s okay. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/MjT4zNZhjm

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

#BiHealthMonth was started by @BRC_Central five years ago to create long overdue conversations raising awareness about these and, unfortunately, many other social, economic and health disparities for #bisexual people.
—@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeovert.co/KUXuUEAVLz

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

Despite these high rates of inequities, #bisexual-specific programming and research receives less than 1% of funding. It is past time for that to change, and that change starts with each of us. ✋��✋��✋��

Have we contributed to the erasure of #bisexual+ identities with insidious thoughts like these?
�� “Bisexuals are really just straight.”
�� “Bisexuals are really just gay.”
�� “It’s so greedy not to pick a side!”
—@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

We can do so much together if we step back and reflect on the fears and assumptions that may cause us to exclude. We all do this and we can all work to change, so that #bisexual and #queer youth can learn to be proud of their identities. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

It is time for us to see more bi+ people at the forefront of #LGBTQ spaces, on our televisions, in our stories. It is time to recognize the #bisexual elders that have been invisible despite driving our movement forward. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/ArPwqw3EbM

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

How many realize that #LGBTQ #Pride as we now know it began with the work of a #bisexual woman named Brenda Howard in 1970? �� —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/o27782QVTS

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

At the end of the day, the truth is that #bisexual people strengthen the quest for liberation. Our struggles are shared and our resilience unrelenting. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/j1dS2llvQM

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

But I know there are many who don’t yet feel safe or comfortable to openly identify as #bisexual, #queer, #pansexual or #fluid. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/ELsl2ZhcMB

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 26, 2018

I want you to know that I see you. I was you. I love you, and you’re not alone. Let’s work together to create the spaces where we can all feel safe enough to show ourselves, and celebrate one another openly without fear. ������

I will continue to use my voice for the causes of addiction, violence, abuse and discrimination
I did this for so many reasons, but above all else I stand for #NOH 8 . I stand for love , light , togetherness , equality , perseverance and the power of our collective humanity . I stand for living in a world where people aren’t discriminated against for their gender, who they love, how they love, the color of their skin, the spiritual/religious practice they engage
