Judge wants to hear from Michael Cohen on Stormy Daniels case

CNN  

CNN — A federal judge in California said Friday that he needed to hear from President Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen directly before deciding whether to issue a stay in a civil lawsuit involving porn star Stormy Daniels. “What’s important here are Mr. Cohen’s statements,” Otero said, in a courtroom packed with dozens of journalists. He said the fact that Cohen had not filed a declaration regarding his Fifth Amendment rights was “a strategic, purposeful decision.” He said Blakely and Cohen and “no evidence” of significant overlap between Daniels’ case and the New York criminal probe. Were that to happen, Blakely said, “my client would have to assert the 5th to practically everything.” Cohen paid Daniels $130,000, a payment which Cohen alleges was made using his personal funds and out of personal loyalty to Trump but which raised red flags among campaign finance experts and drawn the scrutiny of federal investigators.
