Stormy Daniels' lawyer posts photo of DVD containing 'evidence' of her affair with Trump

The attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels set the internet ablaze when he tweeted out a picture of a mysterious DVD along with a suspenseful caption late Thursday.

"If 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' how many words is this worth?" attorney Michael Avenatti wrote along with a photo of the unmarked disc.

Avenatti declined to comment when reached by The New York Daily News Friday afternoon.

But, appearing on CNN later Friday, Avenatti said that the disc contains "evidence" substantiating his client's sexual relationship with Donald Trump.

"It's a warning shot to Michael Cohen and anyone else associated with President Trump that they better be very, very careful," Avenatti said, referring to Trump's longtime personal attorney.

Avenatti declined to go into specifics about what the DVD contains.

The world might find out what's on the disc Sunday, when Daniels' prerecorded "60 Minutes" interview is set to air.

Daniels is expected to talk at length about her sexual relationship with Donald Trump during the interview, as she continues to battle the president in court over a "hush agreement" she says should be nulled because he never signed it.

Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, has threatened to fine Daniels $20 million in damages for violating the nondisclosure agreement that he drew up for her in exchange for $130,000.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, signed the agreement just 12 days before the 2016 election, according to court records. The X-rated actress has dominated headlines ever since news of her steamy affair with Trump first surfaced in January.

Their year-long affair started just a few weeks after first lady Melania gave birth to Trump's youngest son, Barron, according to court records.

Trump has yet to personally address the affair claims. Cohen, his longtime attorney, admitted earlier this year that he paid Daniels $130,000, but has refused to say why or whether he was ever reimbursed by Trump or his campaign.
