Stormy Daniels launches crowd fundraiser to pay for legal costs in suit against Trump

Stormy Daniels launches crowd fundraiser to pay for legal costs in suit against Trump
It's expensive to sue President Trump.

Stormy Daniels, the former porn star who says she had an affair with Trump in his pre-political days, is raising money to pay the legal fees and potential damages for her lawsuit against him.

The suit alleges that the "hush" agreement that keeps Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, from telling her story is invalid.

On the site — which was tweeted about by Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti — Daniels said she would use the funds raised to pay for attorneys' fees, out-of-pocket costs associated with the lawsuit, security expenses and damages if she loses her suit. She said she did not have the "vast resources" to fight Trump and lawyer Michael Cohen on her own.



Per the crowd fundraiser, Cohen and Trump have threatened damages amounting to $1 million for every time she speaks out about the alleged affair.

She probably won't need the money once she tells all and writes her book and perhaps a few more personal appearances, (wink). However, anything that helps fight Trump is okay by me.
