In March 2018, attorney Michael Avenatti filed a lawsuit on behalf of Stormy Daniels in an attempt to release her from a nondisclosure agreement with then-President Donald Trump. This legal move set the stage for a series of events that would eventually lead to Daniels' freedom from the NDA.
By the fall of the same year, Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer, reached an agreement with Trump not to enforce the NDA. This agreement effectively released Daniels from the constraints of the nondisclosure agreement, allowing her to speak freely about her interactions with Trump.
