(CNN) A California judge halted Stormy Daniels' lawsuit against Michael Cohen for 90 days while the criminal investigation of President Donald Trump's personal attorney moves forward in New York. Cohen had asked to halt the lawsuit because he would assert his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself while the criminal investigation continues. He said he wouldn't be able to fully respond to questions that arose in Daniels' lawsuit. In short, the lawsuit put Cohen in the hot seat at the same time he's fending off the criminal probe. Otero further said he believes Cohen could be indicted.
