Yes, we heard Stormy Daniels' story. For Trump, that $130K could be an even bigger problem

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels attends the 2018

What could matter in the Stormy Daniels scandal has a $130K price tag

Adult film star Stormy Daniels' highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview Sunday offered salacious details about her alleged tryst with Donald Trump, including her account of playfully spanking him with a magazine . The potential legal jeopardy for Trump and his allies surrounds the $130,000 payment she received from Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen 11 days before the 2016 election to keep silent. "The payment of the money just creates an enormous legal mess for, I think, Trump, for Cohen and anyone else who was involved in this in the campaign," Trevor Potter, a veteran campaign-finance lawyer and former Federal Election Commission chairman, said on the CBS program. USA TODAY's Fredreka Schouten looks at the areas of potential legal risk.

•	Daniels said she was threatened in front of her baby, and other things we learned from the interview.
•	The lawyer for Trump's lawyer (yep) sent Daniels a cease-and-desist letter Monday over her "defamatory statements."
•	But that's not all: Twitter had fun waiting for the interview to air because a March Madness game went into overtime. No. 1 seed Kansas and No. 2 seed Duke played perhaps the best game of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. (Spoiler alert: Jayhawks are headed to the Final Four.)
•	Despite the delay, 60 Minutes had its best ratings in nearly a decade, with 22 million people tuning in.

Doctors are mad about Rick Santorum's advice that students learn CPR

In short: CPR would not help victims of gun violence. "As a surgeon, I've operated on gunshot victims who've had bullets tear through their intestines, cut through their spinal cord, and pulverize their kidneys and liver," tweeted Eugene Gu, a resident physician at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. "Rick Santorum telling kids to shut up and take CPR classes is simply unconscionable." Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, made the provocative comments about CPR and "phony gun laws" Sunday on CNN, a day after the March for Our Lives . The nationwide rallies drew hundreds of thousands of people demanding safer schools and tighter gun laws in response to the Feb. 14 shooting spree that left 17 dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

Trump boots 60 Russians over the poisoning of a former spy in the U.K.

Trump took a hard line Monday and expelled 60 Russian diplomats and suspected spies for the poisoning of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, earlier this month in the city of Salisbury in southern England. The United Kingdom and nations have accused the Kremlin of orchestrating the nerve-agent attack, which Russia has denied. The case has drawn comparisons to the 2006 poisoning death in London of another former Russian agent, Alexander Litvinenko.
