Stormy Daniels Strips Near White House While Trump Reveals Supreme Court Nominee

Adult film star Stormy Daniels stripped at a club about a mile away from the White House on Sunday night, wearing nothing but black heels. In an apparent case of epic timing, the incident happened around the same time President Donald Trump announced at the White House that Brett Kavanaugh is his choice for the Supreme Court.

Associated Press reported that dollars rained on her during the 15-minute performance called “All Things Revealed” at a lounge called Cloakroom. The lounge's co-owner Andre DeMoya said, “The stars aligned.” The event charged $50 and up per seat and it had the capacity to seat a couple hundred people, but it was not nearly full.

“I wanted to meet the lady who has a lawsuit against the president,” said Keith Swann, a customer.

Diana Lautenberger, another visitor said, “She is the one person who could take down Donald Trump.”

Daniels had earlier alleged she had an affair with Trump in 2006 when he was married to Melania, which the POTUS denied. In an interview with In Touch in 2011, Daniels said she met him at a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006 and she went to meet him in his hotel room. She alleged that the pair had sex in the room.

Daniels claimed she was threatened to stay quiet about the affair. She said a man approached her and told her to "leave Trump alone." In January 2018, news about Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, making a $130,000 payment to Daniels in October 2016 broke.

"These are old, recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied prior to the election," a White House official said at the time, BBC reported. Cohen, however, denied the allegations.

In March, Daniels filed a lawsuit against Trump and Cohen alleging that the payment agreement was invalid because Trump had not signed it. Trump’s lawyers sought $20m in damages from Daniels for breaking the non-disclosure deal.

In April when Trump was asked about the payment to Daniels, he said “no” adding "You'll have to ask Michael Cohen."

In the same month, Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, filed a new defamation lawsuit against the president on Daniels' behalf alleging that Trump attempted to tarnish her reputation, referring to a tweet by him dismissing a sketch of a man, provided by Daniels, who she said threatened her over her alleged affair with Trump. "A total con job,” Trump has tweeted about the picture.

"By calling the incident a 'con job,' Mr. Trump's statement would be understood to state that Ms. Clifford was fabricating the crime and the existence of the assailant, both of which are prohibited under New York law, as well as the law of numerous other states," Avenatti wrote in the lawsuit, CNN reported.

In April, a California judge put the case against Cohen on hold for 90 days after Cohen said he would invoke the Fifth Amendment right against revealing any details because of a related criminal inquiry against him in New York.

“While it is undeniable that plaintiff has a valid interest in the prompt resolution of her claims, plaintiff has not established that she has actually been deterred from speaking,” Judge James Otero said while staying the lawsuit.

In May, Trump admitted that Cohen had paid off Stormy Daniels during his election campaign but denied that the money was taken from campaign funds. In June, a federal judge in Los Angeles rejected Daniels' request to restart her lawsuit there against Trump and Cohen.
