| Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti |
Yesterday, Stormy Daniels’ attorney pushed to depose Donald Trump under oath in the case regarding an alleged affair with the adult-film star years before he took office.
The aggressive step is just the latest development in the lawsuit filed by Daniels against the president and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. This follows amending the lawsuit to include a charge of defamation against Cohen.
Daniels is attempting to have the agreement reached just days before Trump won the presidency in 2016 declared null and void. For the sum of $130,000 the agreement requires Daniels to remain quiet about the alleged affair.
Daniels’s attorney, Michael J. Avenatti, says that Americans were told “a bucket of lies” by Trump’s White House and by Cohen, and a deposition is needed to determine if the agreement was “lawful.”
The White House has previously told the press that Trump denies having any affair with Daniels.
This morning, David Schwartz, the lawyer who represents Michael Cohen, told NBC host Megyn Kelly that a motion filed by Daniels’ legal team seeking to depose the president and Cohen under oath won’t be happening.
“It’s absolutely not going to happen — not in this case, anyway, because the case itself is completely frivolous,” Schwartz said.
