While describing Cohen's allegedly limited work for him — a “tiny fraction” of his legal work, Trump assured — Trump confirmed to “Fox and Friends” that Cohen “represented” him in the Daniels case. “He represents me — like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me.”Daniels's attorney, Michael Avenatti, said shortly after Trump's interview that this constitutes a “hugely damning admission.” But does it? To this point, Cohen has acknowledged having “facilitated” the payment, but Trump has said he didn't know about it. It may seem obvious that Cohen was acting on Trump's behalf — given that Daniels was making allegations against Trump, and Cohen worked for Trump. Trump said in the “Fox and Friends” interview that he has been informed that Cohen's case isn't about him.
