  • Former porn star Stormy Daniels sued President Donald Trump on Tuesday over a "hush agreement" she signed to conceal her alleged 2006 affair with him.
  • Daniels' suit contains a copy of the nondisclosure agreement, which refers to her and Trump under the aliases Peggy Peterson and David Dennison.
  • The NDA describes pictures and text messages related to their alleged affair, which it says Daniels was required to turn over to Trump or delete.
  • But Daniels' lawsuit argues that since Trump never signed the NDA, all its conditions are invalid.

A nondisclosure agreement that former adult-film star Stormy Daniels signed suggests that there may be photos or text messages that could corroborate her allegations that she once had an affair with President Donald Trump.

In a lawsuit Daniels filed Tuesday, her lawyers argue that a "hush agreement" meant to conceal the alleged affair was invalid because Trump never signed it.

The 28-page lawsuit includes a copy of the agreement Daniels said she signed, using the alias "Peggy Peterson" or "PP," and featuring a blank line where Trump, under the alias "David Dennison" or "DD," was meant to sign.

But tucked into the NDA was a reference to "still images and/or text messages."

Here's the NDA's exact language, according to the lawsuit:

The NDA goes on to claim that Daniels even threatened to sell or publicly release the images or information.

It's unclear whether Daniels still possesses those texts or pictures, as the NDA required that she turn them over to DD and and delete any copies she may have had.

But if Daniels does still have copies, and if she wins her suit to have the NDA declared null and void, it's possible she could release them.

Twelve days before the 2016 presidential election, Michael Cohen, Trump's personal lawyer, paid Daniels $130,000, and prepared the NDA for her to sign so she wouldn't go public about her alleged 2006 affair with Trump. He was married to Melania Trump at the time, and she had just given birth to their son Barron.
