When a Twitter user asked Daniels why she doesn’t “just disappear,” Daniels fired back:

Technically I didn't sleep with the POTUS 12 years ago. There was no sleeping (hehe) and he was just a goofy reality TV star. But I digress...People DO care that he lied about it, had me bullied, broke laws to cover it up, etc. And PS...I am NOT going anywhere. xoxoxo https://t.co/Js9sEnanIk — Stormy Daniels (@StormyDaniels) March 20, 2018

Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, has been locked in a public debate with Trump’s legal team after it was reported in January that the adult-film star was paid $130,000 by Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, to stay quiet about their alleged relationship.





The White House says the relationship never took place, and Cohen has denied that the $130,000 payment violated campaign finance laws.

On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal published the results of a polygraph exam Daniels took in 2011, which, though not scientifically reliable, support the details her claims.

Daniels filed a lawsuit earlier this month trying to nullify the nondisclosure agreement she has with Trump, whose legal team has moved to seek damages of as much as $20 million.

Daniels's attorney says she's been threatened with physical harm since coming forward.
