The adult film actress claimed her child was threatened back in 2011.
A “major announcement” is coming soon about the man who allegedly threatened adult film actress Stormy Daniels if she went public about her purported affair with President Donald Trump, according to her attorney on Saturday.
Michael Avenatti said the announcement would be in the “coming days” pertaining to the incident that Daniels claimed took place in 2011 in Las Vegas while she was with her daughter in a parking lot.
“Expect a major announcement in the coming days regarding our efforts to identify the thug who threatened Ms. Clifford in Las Vegas in 2011 to ‘leave Trump alone’ while making reference to her little girl. You can run but you can’t hide,” Avenatti tweeted Saturday.
Daniels, who’s real name is Stephanie Clifford, told 60 Minutes about the incident during an interview last month that 22 million people watched. She described meeting and her sole sexual encounter with Trump during a celebrity golf tournament at one of his resorts in 2006, nearly a decade before he would announce his candidacy for president and just months after wife Melania gave birth to son Barron.
«Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.» Daniels told the television news magazine the man said to her seven years ago. «That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.”
While aboard Air Force One Thursday, President Trump denied having any knowledge of Trump Organization attorney and friend Michael Cohen paying Daniels $130,000 for her silence days before Election Day in 2016.

Trump referred back to Cohen when asked why the payment was made, stating: «You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney. You’ll have to ask Michael.”
Cohen has said neither Trump nor his family business knew about the payment, and that he made it out of his own pocket.
Daniels entered into a non-disclosure agreement in October 2016, but has since claimed the agreement is now off following Cohen’s public statements about the matter.
