Stephanie Clifford's Lawyer Seeks to Depose Trump over Nondisclosure Agreement
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lawyer for adult film actress Stephanie Clifford-better known as
Stormy Daniels-is asking a California judge for permission to depose
President Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen about the $130,000
nondisclosure agreement Clifford signed in the days before the 2016
presidential election requiring her to stay quiet about an alleged 2006
affair with Trump. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, says he's seeking to
question both Trump and Cohen to find out what Trump knew about the
agreement, and whether he consented to it. Her lawyer also says at least
eight other women have come forward with similar accusations against the
president, with at least two saying they were also paid to keep quiet.
