Stormy Daniels' Attorney Says She Was Physically Threatened Daniels' lawyer made the claim to CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." Michael Avenatti said more details on the threats would be revealed in a 60 Minutes interview scheduled to air later this month. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a suit last week against the President over a nondisclosure agreement she claims is void. The agreement was made just before the 2016 election with Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, who paid Daniels $130,000 for keeping quiet about an alleged affair she had with Trump in 2006. Cohen and the Trump administration have denied the affair.
