Trump Lawyers Are Considering A Challenge To "60 Minutes" Airing Of A Stormy Daniels Interview

If it wasn't for the White House doing everything in its power to resist Stormy Daniels' efforts to talk about her affair with Trump, I literally would not given two craps about it. I'd have thought, "Okay. Dude ****ed a porn star, proving he's a sleazebag as usual. Moving on to more important matters now."

If anything, this tactic will do for the 60 Minutes' ratings during the airing of that interview what it did for sales of Fire and Fury.

Lawyers associated with President Donald Trump are considering legal action to stop “60 Minutes” from airing an interview with Stephanie Clifford, the adult film performer and director who goes by Stormy Daniels, BuzzFeed News has learned.

“We understand from well-placed sources they are preparing to file for a legal injunction to prevent it from airing,” a person informed of the preparations told BuzzFeed News on Saturday evening.

It was not immediately clear what legal argument the lawyers would be making to support the considered litigation, and Trump and his legal team often have threatened litigation without following through on those threats in the past.

Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney who previously was a longtime lawyer for the Trump Organization, directed questions about the possibility of litigation to Larry Rosen, who Cohen told BuzzFeed News is “my attorney handling this matter.” Rosen — a partner in the firm LaRocca, Hornik, Rosen, Greenberg & Blaha — acknowledged his role in the matter generally but did not comment directly on the possibility of seeking an injunction.

CBS will air at a later date. Not 11MAR. Why the hesitation?

My guess would be the terms of the NDA and possibly a judicial restraining order based on it.

The way the news cycle runs now, this may not draw eyeballs next week. Does CBS pay for interviews?

Don't know, but reputable news vendors don't typically do that.

What argument is there for a judge to retrain a media outlet from airing a story? There is no national security issue at stake, which is the argument Nixon (unsuccessfully) used for the Pentagon Papers. Being embarrassing to Trump isn't a legal consideration.

If a NDA prevents discussion of a matter then would giving national air time to knowingly assist such unlawful action not be punishable?

CBS news isn't bound by a contract (that's what a non-disclosure agreement is) between two third parties. If one of those third parties wants to go on ^0 Minutes and possible violate the agreement, that's on that 3rd party, not CBS.

Maybe - the third party is not criminally liable but in civil court they could well be found jointly responsible and asked to pay damages. Why do you suppose that they decided to wait to air that show?

Contracts are always civil matters. CBS has no duty to either party of the contract. As such, I can't see how they would be culpable at all.

Prior restraint. This is a farce from the get-go and will not suceed.

Is CBS bound by that NDA? No. Therefore the only person trump can go after is stormy and that’s “IF” they prove she violated the NDA.

Also forgot to Add if she violated her NDA that means what she was telling is true and trump not only cheated on his two wives but his third as well.

Trump can't do anything to CBS. As noted, CBS never signed an NDA, and they can distribute any information -- even information obtained illegally -- as long as they did not solicit it or guide it.

E.g. Snowden illegally obtained documents from the NSA, and passed it on to media outlets for distribution. Snowden is criminally liable for his actions, but the media outlets are not.

So, what Trump and his attorney can do is go after Daniels. If there is a delay, it may be because Daniels and her attorney asked CBS to delay.

These types of efforts typically backfire -- e.g. all it's doing is drawing more attention to the entire situation. However, I'm not sure it will make a big difference to the public. Trump's ardent fans won't care; evangelicals already know that Trump does not live by their values, and are already holding their noses. The establishment/mainstream Republicans might be turned off, but... might not, as there appears to be nothing seriously illegal in this mess.

If Trump did not sign the NDA with his own name, the contract is null and void. Seems his lawyer signed it with a fake name, and Trump's signature is not on it. There is no contract. However, it is still possible that Trump can sue for the 130k paid to stormy, but if you were president, would you want that publicity? In the end, a grifter has been had by a better grifter.

There is also the question of where did the 130k come from?

Correct I just wanted to point out that since trump and his lawyers are making a stink out of stormy “violating her NDA” that the allegations are highly and likely true. Evangelicals really sold their souls to the devil on supporting trump.

CBS will sell more advertising for this show than Fox sold for the SuperBowl. I want to hear Stormy describe his 'junk' in porn star vernacular.

Cohen likely faces disbarment in NY State due to his obvious violation of at least 2 election laws.

If it is FAKE and never happened then why on earth is there a NDA? One can only guess why anyone would need to sign a NDA to sleep with Trump!

That’s true. But the funny party is she could only be violating her NDA, if she is telling the truth. There is no end to this drama that makes Trump look good :lamo
