Avenatti Files Motion to Expedite Depositions of Cohen and Trump
Michael Avenatti just cant keep quiet. Yesterday he was on CNN and also gave another speech in Iowa. This morning he went to Twitter to announce that he wants a judge to expedite a motion he filed in April that would allow him to question Donald Trump and Michael Cohen under oath. He also attached a link to the original motion.
We will be moving quickly to have the court rule on this pending motion seeking depositions of Cohen & Trump and an expedited trial. The American people deserve to know the truth about the conduct of Trump and his cover-up. And we intend on disclosing it.

Avenatti has been saying for months that he would eventually get the chance to interview Trump and Cohen as part of the Stormy Daniels lawsuit against them. As a matter of law, he is correct. In a civil case his client has the right for her attorney to sit down with the defendants (Trump and Cohen) and put on a tape recorder while asking them questions pertinent to the case.
Avenatti gets almost giddy when talking about the prospect of questioning Donald Trump under oath while the entire session is recorded.
Trump of course is doing everything possible to keep that from happening. He and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani are exerting great effort to try to distract the media and American voters from what is really going on. On CNN, Avenatti referred to this as the Alice in Wonderland presidency. Which is a very apt description, because as time goes on and more evidence is revealed, Trumps behavior and comments get curiouser and curiouser.

And has been a great choice by Stormy for representation. She's been so great standing up to these corrupt criminals. Him too.

who keeps Trump on his heels. And btw,he is active in trying to release all of the Hispanic Kids locked up in Cages around the USA.
The News Media is letting these stories die,it is circle the wagons to defend their GOP friends in order to sell Campaign Ads.

Cohen has admitted to almost everything Avenatti laid out in the original complaint. And now tRump admits that HE paid the money to Ms. Daniels, the pieces of the puzzle seem to be falling together.
