LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “Adult film actress Stormy Daniels on Wednesday [6-6-18] launched a new lawsuit against her former attorney, Keith Davidson, as well as President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, saying the two men ‘colluded’ and ‘acted in concert’ to ‘manipulate’ Daniels and to benefit Trump. The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California, is just the latest in Daniels’ continuing onslaught against Cohen, led by her Los Angeles-based lawyer, Michael Avenatti — and all rooted in Daniels’ alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. The White House has said Trump denies the alleged affair. The lawsuit alleges that in January 2018, when Davidson was still representing Daniels, ‘Mr. Cohen immediately colluded with Mr. Davidson in an attempt to use and manipulate Ms. Clifford in a manner designed to benefit Mr. Cohen and Mr. Trump.’ The men sprung into action, the lawsuit alleges, when they became aware of the forthcoming publication of an ‘In Touch’ magazine article that would detail Daniels’ descriptions of her alleged affair with Trump.”
