Stormy Daniels and her attorney hinted Sunday that they have hard evidence beyond her mere word that would prove she, not President Trump, is telling the truth on the matter of whether they had an affair a decade ago.
According to a 2016 non-disclosure agreement, which she is suing to have declared null and void, the porn star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford was required to turn over all “video images, still images, email messages, and text messages” she may have had regarding Mr. Trump.
In a segment that aired Sunday on the CBS program “60 Minutes,” interviewer Anderson Cooper asked her “Did you do that?” and a similar follow-up question.
She replied “I can’t answer that right now” and “My attorney has recommended that I don’t discuss those things.”
The “60 Minutes” segment then cut to attorney Michael Avenatti being told by Mr. Cooper “You seem to be saying that she has some sort of text message, or video, or-or photographs. Or you could just be bluffing.”
Mr. Avenatti parried the question in a threatening way.
“You should ask some of the other people in my career when they’ve bet on me bluffing,” he replied.
On Thursday night, Mr. Avenatti used social media to issue a similar cryptic threat. He tweeted a picture of a compact disc and a common dare about the proof that pictures provide.
“If ’a picture is worth a thousand words,’ how many words is this worth?????#60minutes #pleasedenyit #basta,” Mr. Avenatti tweeted.
The combination of the denial dare, the disc and the metaphor about pictures seemed clear, if unstated.
