The lawyer for an adult film actress who claims she had an affair with Donald Trump has posted a picture of a data disc as a "warning shot" to the President.
Michael Avenatti, who represents Stormy Daniels in her bid to sue Mr Trump over a nondisclosure agreement, accompanied the photo with the message: "If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is this worth???"
Mr Avenatti said the disc contains evidence proving the President had an affair with the model – real name Stephanie Clifford – and that it was a warning shot to Mr Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen.
Ms Clifford, who is due to give an interview on the CBS 60 Minutes programme on Sunday, claims she had an affair with Mr Trump and was paid $130,000 to sign an agreement to stay silent.
The actress is now suing Mr Trump so she can be released from the agreement.
Mr Avenatti said: "I want to be really clear about this: It is a warning shot.
"And it's a warning shot to Michael Cohen and anyone else associated with President Trump that they better be very, very careful after Sunday night relating to what they say about my client and what spin or lies they attempt to tell the American people."
Ms Clifford says she had an affair with Mr Trump that began in 2006 and lasted for several months and that it was shortly after the President's wife Melania gave birth to the couple's first son Barron.
Mr Cohen has admitted he personally paid the cash to Ms Clifford but said that neither Mr Trump nor any of his organisations were part of the transaction.
