Stormy Daniels suit: My old lawyer was a 'puppet' for Trump, Cohen
Source: NBC News
Stormy Daniels says in a new lawsuit that her former attorney betrayed her and became a "puppet" for President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer while still representing her.
The filing Wednesday alleges that Trump attorney Michael Cohen "hatched a plan" and "colluded" with the adult film actress' lawyer, Keith Davidson, to get her to go on Fox News in January and falsely deny she had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago.
Cohen even referred to Davidson as "pal" in one text cited in the complaint.
The lawsuit against Davidson and Cohen also claims that Trump was aware the two attorneys were communicating and coordinating for his benefit unbeknownst to Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.
