Donald Trump reportedly is trying to again pay porn star for her silence, Rachel Maddow reports. Appearing on MSNBC’s All in with Chris Hayes, Maddow explains that as Daniels was preparing to settle the amount of legal fees owed to Donald Trump for lost defamation case Daniels filed, Trump’s lawyers wanted to negotiate Daniels’ silence once again.
In a strangely convenient fashion–like she was self-filming a documentary or something (no shade for the hustle)–Daniels filmed herself receiving a call from her lawyer, Clark Brewster, who told Daniels “they want to cut some kind of deal where they silence you.” Daniels laughs, adding, “Don’t they know that shit won’t work?”
Daniels wired Trump the money–a sum totalling something near $600,000 when multiple suits and interests were added in–without signing another NDA.
