If true, that clears him of being the person who threatened Stormy Daniels and her baby in 2011. But, it is abundantly clear that Trump has fixers who threaten people as a matter of course to scare them.“My name is Carmine. I don’t know why you’re fucking with Mr. Trump but if you keep fucking with Mr. Trump, we know where you live and we’re going to your house for your wife and kids,” the caller said, according to the account that the attorney, Kristopher Hansen, gave to the Holmdel police department in New Jersey. Hansen [who represented clients who stood to lose more than a billion dollars when Trump's casino business declared bankruptcy in 2009] speculated that the caller was Trump’s bodyguard.
According to FBI case notes, the phone call to Hansen was made at 2:05 p.m. on Feb. 18, 2009, from a New York City telephone booth located across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater, where Trump was a guest that day on The Late Show With David Letterman.

The implosion of his flagship casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, left many investors and contractors empty-handed. But Trump walked away from the wreckage, gilding his public image and largely denying responsibility. “I wasn’t involved at all in management,” Trump told Letterman. Trump had been chairman of the board until five days earlier, and his daughter Ivanka had also been on the board.
After receiving the phone call, Hansen, a high-profile bankruptcy lawyer with the law firm Stroock & Stroock & Lavan in Manhattan, was so fearful that the Holmdel Township Police Department sent a squad car to monitor his home periodically for three days.

Hansen, the agent noted, “transcribed the content of the phone call to a napkin.” He also told a colleague who was with him on the train what the caller had said, and that coworker “transcribed the content of the call to an e-mail” and sent it to Hansen at 2:11 p.m.

By checking the BlackBerry’s caller ID, the FBI determined that the 26-second call came from a phone number — 212-399-5686 — that belonged to a public pay phone on West 54th Street and Broadway, across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater. Hansen told the special agent that he did not recognize the caller’s voice but said it had a “heavy New York accent.”

Bo Dietl, a private investigator and former New York City police detective who had worked with Trump on and off since 1985, told the Daily Beast last year that Trump sanctioned threats against his perceived enemies. Dietl cited the intimidation of an attorney representing shareholders in Trump’s casino business as an example. He said Trump “hired me to get to the guy.”
“We kind of deterred that attorney because what we did was we investigated the fact that [the] attorney wasn’t exactly cleaner than the Board of Health, you know what I mean?” Dietl said. “So I went to visit the guy who was trying to fuck Trump, and I says, you know, I think you better think about this. He’s got this, this and the other thing — it was enough to be very bad for that person.”
But Dietl told BuzzFeed News that he didn’t make the call to Hansen.
“Nah, wasn’t me,” Dietl said. “Back in '09, I told Trump to go fuck himself." He added, "Honestly, I was not involved in anything with Donald in '09.”

FYI: Bo Dietl is now a Fox News contributor.
Sure.
Could have been a Trump tweet, he sounds like a kindred spirit at least.
I'd like to know if Stormy has been shown a picture of Dietl.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
