The lawyer for Stormy Daniels says emails show President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen was using his Trump Organization email just days before the 2016 election as he arranged the wire transfer of a $130,000 payment to the adult film star to remain silent about her alleged 2006 affair with Trump.
Michael Avenatti, who provided the emails to ABC News, alleges that the use of Cohen’s Trump.org email further supports his position that Trump was aware of the payment to Daniels whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.
“We’re one step closer to demonstrating that the assertion by Cohen and the White House that President Trump knew nothing about this is ridiculous,” Avenatti told ABC News’ Tom Llamas on Friday.
Cohen dismissed these allegations.
