"The more I'm thinking about it, I might even take an extended vacation on her dime," he said in a profile that Vanity Fair published Monday. The article prompted a retort from Michael Avenatti, a lawyer for Stormy Daniels, on Twitter. Cohen told Vanity Fair that he did not threaten Daniels and had never even spoken to her, instead interacting with her through a previous attorney. Avenatti told CNN in response that "there is little question at this point that Mr. Cohen's credibility is highly suspect." Cohen previously asserted his action was legal, and in the Vanity Fair article, he is quoted as saying his decision was not related to Trump's campaign.
