Porn star Stormy Daniels is expanding her legal assault on President Donald Trump, filing a new lawsuit over his use of Twitter to undermine her claim that an unidentified man threatened her in a bid to keep her quiet about her "intimate relationship" with Trump about a decade ago.
Daniels' suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Monday afternoon, alleges defamation by Trump in an April 19 tweet that suggested she fabricated her story about being approached in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 by a man who told her to "Leave Trump alone. Forget the story."
According to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, the unknown man referred to her child, saying, "That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom."
Daniels recently prepared and released a sketch of the man who she said approached her, but Trump's tweet ridiculed the sketch and appeared to dispute that the entire episode ever occurred.
