Trumps Lawyer Trying to Silence Stormy Daniels

President Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, “is trying to silence adult-film star Stormy Daniels, obtaining a secret restraining order in a private arbitration proceeding and warning that she will face penalties if she publicly discusses a relationship with the president,” NBC News reports.

Tuesday's lawsuit says that Trump attorney Michael Cohen — who brokered the agreement with Clifford during the presidential campaign — attempted to "intimidate" Clifford and "shut her up" by initiating what it calls a "bogus arbitration proceeding" against her in Los Angeles on Feb. 27.

On that day, Cohen obtained a temporary restraining order against Clifford from the private arbitrator, a retired judge, which bars her from disclosing "confidential information" related to the nondisclosure agreement signed in October 2016, according to a copy of the document obtained by NBC News.

7. Materials contained in the lawsuit are privileged and the NDA does not apply

The materials set forth in the lawsuit are privileged and the NDA cannot block these materials. The lawsuit goes to the existence of a contract and without a contract, the arbitration clause is void
