Donald J. Trump, who put out a bold statement yesterday regarding traditional gender affirmation laws which he intends to implement upon reentry to office – hurray – is back in hot water. What a surprise. Today, it’s his ex-attorney, Michael Cohen. Let’s all find out together what in the world is happening now…
As per Yahoo, Donald Trump’s long-estranged former lawyer and supposed “fixer”, Michael Cohen, says Manhattan prosecutors took his cellphones to preserve evidence related to a hush-money payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels. This comes in the waning weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign – some SEVEN years ago.
The payment to Daniels, which Cohen specifies was intended to buy her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, has been the subject of law-enforcement scrutiny for years, but a new grand jury is giving it a fresh look.
Cohen said Wednesday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office asked for the phones because it wants to extract voice recordings of conversations he had with a lawyer for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, as well as emails and text messages.
“That way it could be used as evidence if in fact they proceed forward, which, I would suspect they are,” Cohen said in an appearance on CNN.
