- Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, alleged that lawyer Michael Cohen, or someone connected to him, is selectively leaking audio tapes.
- Avenatti alleged the leaks were of material obtained by the FBI in raids of Cohen's home, office, and hotel, in an effort to make Daniels look bad.
Adult-film star Stormy Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, alleged in a Tuesday court filing that President Donald Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen or members of his legal team are selectively leaking audio tapes to the media of material seized in FBI raids of Cohen's home, office, and hotel.
"We further have reason to believe that the recordings may relate to our client, Ms. Stephanie Clifford," Avenatti wrote, using Daniels' real name. "We think that these select leaks are meant to paint a false narrative relating to Mr. Cohen and his business dealings at the same time he is not disclosing numerous other recordings of him speaking with individuals such as Mr. Trump."See the rest of the story at Business Insider
