Washington
\nUS President Donald Trump has sought to move past a lawsuit from pornstar Stormy Daniels, stating in a court filing that he would not seek to enforce a 2016 settlement agreement between Daniels and Trump\u2019s former attorney, Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n
The so-called hush agreement, forged between Daniels and Cohen on behalf of his shell company Essential Consultants in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, included a $1,30,000 payment to the actress in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump, CNN reported.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Daniels sued Trump, saying the secret agreement should be void since the President himself never signed it.<\/p>\n
Trump on Saturday made clear that Daniels was right, he was never party to the deal.<\/p>\n
His attorney, Charles Harder, said in Saturday\u2019s court filing that Trump would not contest Daniels\u2019 \u201cassertion that the Settlement Agreement was never formed, or in the alternative, should be rescinded\u201d.<\/p>\n
Harder ended his letter by calling for Daniels to \u201cimmediately dismiss\u201d Trump from her lawsuit, and he requested a meeting with her attorney Michael Avenatti if she would not agree to dismiss the President voluntarily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
