Stormy Daniels Says Trump Is Trying to Silence Her Again

Donald Trump is accused of trying to silence Stormy Daniels again through a potential hush money deal, according to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. Daniels, who previously received $130,000 from Trump in 2016 to remain silent about a past affair, is now being approached by Trump's lawyers to sign a non-disclosure agreement. In exchange, Trump's team reportedly offered to reduce the legal debt Daniels owes them from $650,000 to $620,000. However, Daniels reportedly rejected the offer, paying $627,500 and refusing to sign the agreement. This follows Trump's recent conviction on 34 counts of fraud related to the same hush money payment. The article cites Daniels' own account and her legal team as sources, noting that Trump's campaign claimed the communications were part of Iranian hacking attempts.
