Lawyers associated with President Donald Trump are considering legal action to stop 60 Minutes from airing an interview with Stephanie Clifford, the adult film performer and director who goes by Stormy Daniels, BuzzFeed News has learned.
We understand from well placed sources they are preparing to file for a legal injunction to prevent it from airing, a person informed of the preparations told BuzzFeed News on Saturday evening.
It was not immediately clear what legal argument the lawyers would be making to support the considered litigation, and Trump and his legal team often have threatened litigation without following through on those threats in the past.
Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney who previously was a longtime lawyer for the Trump Organization, directed questions about the possibility of litigation to Larry Rosen, who Cohen told BuzzFeed News is my attorney handling this matter. Rosen a partner in the firm LaRocca, Hornick, Rosen, Greenberg & Blaha acknowledged his role in the matter generally but did not comment directly on the possibility of seeking an injunction.
