Adult film star Stormy Daniels is suing US President Donald Trump over a “defamatory” tweet about alleged threats against her, her lawyer says.<\/p>\n

Ms Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, says she was threatened by a man in a Las Vegas car park to drop her allegations of an affair with Mr Trump.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump retweeted a sketch of the man, calling it “a total con job”.<\/p>\n

But Ms Daniel’s lawyer tweeted that Mr Trump was “well aware of what transpired”.<\/p>\n

Moments ago, we filed this lawsuit against Mr. Trump for his recent irresponsible and defamatory statements about my client @<\/span>stormydaniels<\/span><\/a>. He is well aware of what transpired and his complicity. We fully intend on bringing it to light. #<\/span>buckleup<\/span><\/a> #<\/span>basta<\/span><\/a>https:\/\/www.<\/span>dropbox.com\/s\/cghg5fwc42lh7y7\/Complaint.pdf?dl=0\u00a0<\/span>\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

“Mr Trump used his national and international audience of millions of people to make a false factual statement to denigrate and attack Ms Clifford,” the filing to a New York federal court reads.<\/p>\n

The suit says the president’s tweet was defamatory as it accused Ms Daniels of “committing a serious crime” – namely, falsely accusing a person of threatening her.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump retweeted the sketch of the person earlier this month, calling him “a nonexistent man”.<\/p>\n

A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)! https:\/\/<\/span>twitter.com\/shennafoxmusic\/status\/986544764395900928\u00a0<\/span>\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Daniels says she and the president had an affair, starting in 2006. The president strongly denies the allegation.<\/p>\n

She told CBS News’ 60 minutes programme that following the end of the relationship, a man approached her and her daughter in a Las Vegas car park and told her to “forget the story, leave Donald Trump alone”.<\/p>\n

Ms Daniels previously sued Mr Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen to end an alleged non-disclosure agreement about the relationship, which she says Mr Trump never signed.<\/p>\n

Mr Cohen has previously admitted giving Ms Daniels $130,000 out of his own pocket, but has not said why he did this.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump denies any knowledge of Mr Cohen paying Ms Daniels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

This case was, however, halted for 90 days, when the presiding judge said\u00a0Mr Cohen’s rights could be put in danger<\/a>\u00a0if the case continued while he was under criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

Mr Cohen is under scrutiny as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and alleged collusion with President Trump’s campaign.<\/p>\n
