LOL So your mistake is Avenatti’s fault! South, you still can’t admit when you’ve been talking out your arse. You’re saying what? That Avenatti told you the letter was only directed at him, but he got it wrong? LMAO

Funny, no member of the legitimate press made this mistake:

“‘I hereby demand that you and your client cease and desist from making any further false and defamatory statements about my client,’ Blakely said in the letter, which was shared with USA TODAY and other media.”

Moving on…

“stormy has now amended her suit to include slander, and violation of campaign finance laws”

Well, not quite. No claim has been added for violation of campaign finance laws. She and Avenatti do allege that Trump and Cohen sought to violate campaign finance laws, but it is not a cause of action in her complaint, which is an action between private parties. Instead, the complaint seeks to nullify the “Hush Agreement” on the basis that its is contrary to public policy because its aim was to violate or circumvent campaign finance laws.

But yes, her lawsuit has been amended to include a defamation claim — but it’s defamation, not slander. You of all people should know the difference, South. lol The statement in question by Cohen was written (thus libel, not slander) and disseminated to the media.

It’s also a rather flimsy claim:

On or about February 13, 2018, Mr. Cohen issued a public statement…In it, he states in part: “Just because something isn’t true doesn’t mean that it can’t cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump.” Mr. Cohen’s statement was made in writing and released by Mr. Cohen to the media with the intent that it be widely disseminated and repeated throughout California and across the country (and the world) on television, on the radio, in newspapers, and on the Internet. It was reasonably understood by those who read or heard the statement that Mr. Cohen’s defamatory statement was about Ms. Clifford. Both on its face, and because of the facts and circumstances known to persons who read or heard the statement, it was reasonably understood Mr. Cohen meant to convey that Ms. Clifford is a liar, someone who should not be trusted, and that her claims about her relationship with Mr. Trump is “something [that] isn’t true.”

Read the Amended Complaint in its entirety here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stormy-daniels-amends-complaint-to-include-trump-attorney-defamation-claim/

“I hereby demand that you and your client cease and desist from making any further false and defamatory statements about my client.”

It also demands that “you immediately retract and apologize to Mr. Cohen through the national media for your defamatory statements on ‘60 Minutes”

Stormy was interviewed on 60 minutes, not Avenatti.
