Claim: Trump Has None Disclosure Agreement With A Second Porn Star
Something that fell through the cracks on Saturday as the country was momentarily distracted by a false alarm involving a nuclear attack on Hawaii.
I don’t know why I’m calling this a “claim,” really.
“Claim” implies that it’s some publication alleging that the NDA exists based on a shadowy anonymous source.
That’s not what this is. It’s the spokesman for the porn star herself, Jessica Drake, who’s alleging it — or who was alleging it, I should say.
“Jessica’s NDA blankets any and every mention of Trump, so she’s legally unable to comment,” her publicist, Josh Ortiz, informed The Daily Beast. “
Jessica signed a non-disclosure agreement after her allegations of misconduct, and she can’t do as much as peep his name publicly.”
Shortly after the Daily Beast published that, a panicky Ortiz contacted them again.
NDA? Who said anything about a NDA?
“I made an incorrect assumption due to a grave misunderstanding regarding Jessica Drake’s ability to speak or comment about matters relating to President Trump,” Ortiz said in a statement supplied by Drake’s lawyer, Gloria Allred.
“I have never been told directly, or indirectly, Jessica Drake signed a Non Disclosure Agreement or reached any settlement in regards to any interactions with President Trump.
My misunderstanding resulted in incorrect information being provided to The Daily Beast and undue stress to Jessica Drake, for which I am truly sorry.”
He erroneously thought his client, an adult film star, had a nondisclosure agreement with the president of the United States.
Simple mistake, could happen to anyone.
Let me gently offer an alternate possibility: There’s an NDA, the NDA explicitly says that Drake and her spokesmen aren’t allowed to acknowledge the existence of the NDA, and Ortiz accidentally breached the agreement when he confirmed its existence in his first comment to the Daily Beast.
Then he tried to put the genie back in the bottle.
Jessica Drake is one of the women who accused Trump of misconduct before the 2016 election, although the misconduct in this case involved neither harassment nor assault.
She claims she met Trump in 2006, the same year he allegedly met Stephanie “Stormy Daniels” Clifford.
He invited her to his room (she went, but with two friends), they spent some time chatting, and eventually he contacted her by phone to offer her $10,000 for sex, or so she said at a press conference in October 2016.
Today, curiously, she’s completely unwilling to discuss anything having to do with Trump — although it’s certainly not because of any nondisclosure agreement, no sir.
