▶️ "Key Facts
• Daniels alleges she had an affair with Trump in July 2006 (which Trump denies) and was then paid $130,000 by ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen to cover up the allegations before the 2016 election, after which she became an outspoken critic of the ex-president and testified against him at his criminal trial.
• After Daniels unsuccessfully sued Trump for defamation in March and Oct. 2018, she was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees to Trump across multiple legal cases — fees which she said in May she had not yet paid.
• In a July 23 letter first reported by MSNBC and confirmed by Forbes—which came after she testified at his trial in May—Trump’s attorneys told Daniels’ lawyers that she now owes Trump $652,362.23 for the attorneys fees and asked her to sign a “non-disparagement agreement” regarding making comments against Trump.
• Daniels’ attorneys offered to pay $620,000, and Trump’s lawyers said in a July 25 letter that while that amount wouldn’t be “in full satisfaction” of the judgments, they would agree to it if Daniels “agrees in writing to make no public or private statements related to any alleged past interactions with President Trump, or defamatory or disparaging statements about him, his businesses and/or any affiliates or his suitability as a candidate for President.”
• Daniels’ attorney Clark Brewster told Forbes that the two sides ultimately settled on her paying $627,500 and the fees have now been “fully paid,” but Daniels did not agree to the non-disparagement agreement.
• The Trump campaign has not yet responded to a request for comment, but spokesperson Steven Cheung falsely blamed the emails becoming public on “stolen material by terror regime adversaries” in a statement to MSNBC — a reference to Iran allegedly hacking the Trump campaign — even though Daniels counsel provided the emails to MSNBC."
