Stormy Daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti pledged Monday evening to see her lawsuit against President Donald Trump to its “conclusion,” despite having fears about their personal “safety.”
Adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels speaks US Federal Court with her lawyer Michael Avenatti (R) on April 16, 2018, in Lower Manhattan, New York.
President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen has been under criminal investigation for months over his business dealings, and FBI agents last week raided his home, hotel room, office, a safety deposit box and seized two cellphones. Some of the documents reportedly relate to payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims a one-night stand with Trump a decade ago, and ex Playboy model Karen McDougal who also claims an affair.

“My attorney and I are committed to making sure that everyone finds out the truth and the facts of what happened,” Daniels — born Stephanie Clifford — told the press in New York City. “I give my word that we will not rest until that happens.”

When pressed by a reporter, Avenatti stated he has “been concerned for my safety for the duration of the case, as has my client.”
“We’ve decided the risk is more than worth it,” he continued. “And we’re going to see this to conclusion whether it’s next week, next month, next year, no matter how long it takes.”
“We’re not going away.”
