Washington (CNN)The lawyer representing the adult film star Stormy Daniels alleges that some of the accusations she's making against President Donald Trump occurred while Trump was in office, her lawyer said Friday.

"Is there anything in the litany of accusations -- you would call them facts -- that surround this case that happened while Donald Trump was President?" CNN's Jake Tapper asked Michael Avenatti, Daniels' lawyer, during an interview Friday.

"Yes," Avenatti replied.

When asked by Tapper if he could elaborate, Avenatti gave a simple "no."

Avenatti had claimed earlier Friday in an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo that Daniels was "physically threatened to stay silent about what she knew about Donald Trump." He declined to provide further details about who made the threat during that interview, including whether or not it was Trump or someone associated with him.

1. Avenatti is a very smart lawyer

He keeps giving just enough "interesting" information, but few details, implying there's more to come. Probably a lot more.

[ffr]

2. The Kompromat president.

America is in danger.

[barbtries]

6. oh yeah.

the kompromat congress. i just can't think of another reason they let this farce continue.

10. because Trump is so weak

that he'll sign whatever Republicans pass & put in front of him

I like it!

15. Praise to the Lord in Heaven.... tRdump is here....

4. This is Harding-level abuse of position.

Whoa. This is some grim, dark stuff (in my world, at least).

A sitting President (or his agent) coercing a private citizen to remain silent about her own (non-national security) experiences is beyond my experience. This is Harding-level abuse of position.

16. Dang....now I need to google Harding to see exactly what the

Hell he did (LOL!).

5. It's shocking how sleazily the republican "family values" role model

...comports himself. Dirty Donny* is disgustingly deplorable.

11. The best comeback I've seen is from Rick Wilson,

Roughly this: Just say it: "I'm okay with the president screwing a porn star." Say it! Say it!

7. Michael Wolff did allude to Trump having an affair within the White House in

"Fire and Fury".

[FakeNoose]

8. Yes and he quoted Steve Bannon that at least 100 women were paid off

The payoffs were made before the election, so probably Stormy Daniels was included in that number.

I hope the journalists start asking Michael Cohen more questions about that. He was in charge of handling and paying off the women so they wouldn't come forward and embarass Cheeto during the campaign. Since Fire and Fury was published in January, nobody has come forward to dispute anything in the book, including Steve Bannon.

9. I think what happened during the presidency is the physical threats to her, not a continuation

of the affair.

[Ilsa]

12. She had taken the money and signed the NDA. Why did they think

there was an issue? Had IQ45 been in touch with her again?

[Puzzler]

14. Physically threatened? FFS!!!!!!!

I didn’t check the “news” for the last few hours. Silly me.

It’s every single fucking hour now ... and even an “hour” is an eon in the “Trump Newscycle”.

Morning Joe.....What a nightmare this guy is.....

18. But he's already forgiven
