With just 20 days until the election, Rachel Maddow claims Trump’s legal team offered Stormy Daniels a fresh non-disclosure agreement to keep quiet about their past alleged affair. Maddow revealed a call between Daniels and her lawyer, Clark Brewster, who flatly said, “They want to cut some kind of deal where they silence you… No f***ing way.” According to emails shared by Maddow, Trump’s team proposed a $600,000 reduction on Daniels’ legal debt from her failed 2018 defamation suit in exchange for her silence.
While Trump’s team fired back, calling the documents “illegally obtained,” Daniels’ lawyer reportedly said negotiations to settle the debt without an NDA were ultimately finalized. Maddow insists the documents came directly from Daniels. The Manhattan DA, who recently prosecuted Trump in a hush money case, has not commented. With the clock ticking down to election day, Maddow’s report raises fresh questions about Trump’s tactics to handle his past—ones that might be as calculated as they are controversial.
