Criminal proceedings against Michael Cohen following FBI raids leads judge to postpone porn actor’s lawsuit by three monthsThe lawsuit brought by Stormy Daniels against Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen has been put on hold for three months. The FBI was seeking records about a non-disclosure agreement Daniels signed days before the 2016 presidential election. “This is no simple criminal investigation; it is an investigation into the personal attorney of a sitting president regarding documents that might be subject to the attorney-client privilege,” Otero wrote. Cohen has admitted paying $130,000 to Daniels to secure her silence about having sex with Trump. Trump said on Thursday Cohen handles very little of his legal work, but did represent him in the “crazy Stormy Daniels deal”.
