Stormy Daniels

Avenatti, who had previously represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels, was convicted Friday for trying to extort money from Nike.

The head of American Media Incorporated, David Pecker, was questioned by federal prosecutors about hush money payments made to women who allegedly had affairs with Donald Trump before he was elected president.

Cohen is now serving a three-year prison sentence for fixing payments for Trump, while Giuliani is front-and-center in Trump's Ukraine scandal.

"The felony crime is a serious one," Joyce Vance said. "Most significantly is the threat there is jail time involved."

There is a long tradition of threatening negative publicity to advance negotiations. But not like this.

"He's going to what I like to refer to as 'Jewish heaven,'" Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, said.

"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert used President Donald Trump's hush payment to Stormy Daniels to mock his donation to the Department of Homeland Security.

"Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert [Murdoch] wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go," said the head of FoxNews.com at the time.

Michael Cohen called the president a "con man," "racist" and a "cheat." Cohen also said the president was aware of Roger Stone's interactions with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. 

The opening statement from Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, contains explosive allegations concerning WikiLeaks and more.

"It's laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word," the White House press secretary said.

"Mrs. Trump wants to ensure her guests have a special evening," the first lady's spokeswoman said.

Miranda Panda and Brittany Walters settled with the city of Columbus, Ohio, for $150,000 after they were unlawfully arrested at a gentlemen's club along with Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, in July 2018.

Stormy Daniels and her attorney Michael Avenatti criticized Cohen for postponing his plan to testify before congress next month.

At a hearing, the judge did not issue a ruling but seemed to favor Trump and his attorneys' view that the suit no longer had legal grounds.

The lawyer for Stormy Daniels vehemently denies the allegations.

Cohen's public hearing will be February 7, making him the first Trump associate connected to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe to cooperate with the Democrats since they took control of the House.

The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host tore into President Donald Trump for his Oval Office address on what the White House calls a "crisis" at the border with Mexico.

"This Fox News judge [Andrew Napolitano] does a great job explaining why President Trump is in real trouble," tweeted Sanders. 

"I am done being loyal to President Trump and my first loyalty belongs to my wife, my daughter, my son and this country," Cohen said.

"I will not be the villain of his story," Michael Cohen told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Daniels's attorney, Michael Avenatti, turned the attention to his client's nondisclosure case, which he repeatedly said was the main case.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson claims Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal made President Donald Trump pay a "ransom" over their allegations of affairs.

The new law requires female strippers to be at least 21 years old.

"Is it true (asking for about 100 million friends)?" Avenatti tweeted at Trump Jr.

Adult movie star gave interview to promote her new book Full Disclosure.

"I make it out of respect for my family," Avenatti said of his decision. "But for their concerns, I would run."

Attorneys representing the president are seeking legal fees of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the adult film actress.

"I think the field is shaping up to be even more advantageous for someone like me, not less," said the lawyer and Trump critic.

"To all the people that want to divide us for their own agendas: It is not going to happen," Avenatti wrote.
