Legal commentators are asking why Donald Trump would use a pseudonym in his non-disclosure agreement with adult film star Stormy Daniels.New York attorney, Colleen Kerwick, told Newsweek that using an alias is rare in a such a case. 'It is unusual for a non-disclosure agreement to use pseudonyms as the agreement itself would be subject to the confidentiality clauses within it,' she said.
'Using a John Doe name isn't a crime, but it's a building block for a case about a cover up. It was never a crime to purchase the intellectual property rights in someone's story,' Kerwick added.'The alleged crime is the falsification of records to cover it up,' she said.MSNBC legal correspondent, Katie Phang, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday that there was no plausible reason why Trump would not use his real name in the agreement.
