LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “U.S. President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer whose offices and home were raided last week will ask a judge to limit federal prosecutors’ ability to review seized documents at a hearing which adult film star Stormy Daniels is expected to attend. Michael Cohen, who prosecutors revealed last week is under criminal investigation, has asked the court to give his own lawyers the first look at the seized materials so they can identify documents that are protected by attorney-client privilege. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, plans to attend Monday’s [4-16-18] hearing, her lawyer Michael Avenatti, said on Sunday [4-15-18]. She is engaged in a legal battle with Cohen over a $130,000 agreement for her to keep quiet about a 2006 sexual encounter she says she had with Trump.”
