Diana Falzone Stormy Daniels And Donald Trump

On March 11, 2019, Jane Mayer reported Falzone had obtained proof that Trump had engaged in a sexual relationship with Stephanie Clifford (“Stormy Daniels”), in 2006. Ken LaCorte told her the story was killed because “Rupert wanted Donald Trump to win. So just let it go.” Diana later discovered that the National Enquirer had made a “catch and kill” deal regarding Daniels for Trump, and Fox did not run that either.

The story remained unknown to the public until a year after Trump became President. This was when the Wall Street Journal news broke of Trump’s alleged payoffs as compensation to Daniels for her agreement to a non-disclosure agreement, and then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s criminal attempts to conceal them as legal fees.

On March 14, 2019, NBC News reported that Falzone “plans to tell Congress about allegations that the outlet tried to stop her from reporting on the Stormy Daniels controversy during the 2016 election, citing an exception to a nondisclosure agreement she signed”, in response to a request from House Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings that she talk to committee investigators and provide documents. Falzone’s lawyer stated that her client would comply with the committee request, noting that a government inquiry “trumps an NDA.  No NDA can prevent anybody from participating in a government investigation”.
