Celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti walks out of a New York court house after a hearing in a case where he is accused of stealing $300,000 from a former client, adult-film actress Stormy Daniels on July 23, 2019 in New York City. “You guys know enough now to know you’ve got a serious problem,” he said.
Daniels was paid $130,000 by Trump’s then-personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen on the eve of the 2016 presidential election to keep her quiet about her claims of having had sex with Trump years earlier. Trump has denied Daniels’ allegations but reimbursed Cohen for the hush money.

Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, whose office prosecuted Avenatti, said in a prepared statement, “While the defendant may have tried to hide behind legal terms and a suit and tie, the jury clearly saw the defendant’s scheme for what it was — an old fashioned shakedown.”.

Stormy Daniels has reached a settlement with Michael Cohen and Keith Davidson, her former attorney, in her lawsuit that accused both men of working together to protect President Donald Trump.
Daniels, an adult-film actress whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, sued Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, and Davidson last June, ...
Daniels previously sued Trump for allegedly failing to sign the hush money agreement regarding their purported sexual encounter, arguing that the agreement was therefore void. During the course of the case, Cohen and Trump agreed with Daniels saying the agreement would not be enforced. But Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti said his client wanted the judge to rule that what Cohen and Trump did was illegal.
In the lawsuit, Daniels alleged that the two men “colluded” and “acted in concert” to “manipulate” her and to benefit Trump. When the men became aware of an impending In Touch magazine article that would detail Daniels’ descriptions of her alleged affair with Trump, Cohen “hatched a plan to have Ms. Clifford appear on Mr. Sean Hannity’s program to falsely deny the accuracy of the In Touch article,” the lawsuit stated.
Davidson, for his part, filed a defamation claim last year against Daniels and Avenatti and another claim against Cohen for allegedly illegally recording phone calls between the two.
