LAWSUIT/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “A federal judge appeared inclined Tuesday [1-22-19] to toss out a lawsuit against President Donald Trump by porn actress Stormy Daniels that sought to tear up a hush-money settlement about their alleged affair. Trump and his former personal lawyer asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit after agreeing to rescind a nondisclosure agreement that included a $130,000 payment to Daniels. Judge S. James Otero did not rule in U.S. District Court, but he seemed to agree with lawyers for the president and Michael Cohen that there were no longer grounds for a lawsuit. ‘It seems you’ve achieved … what you sought to achieve,’ Otero said to Daniels’ attorney. If Otero does throw out the case, it would give both sides a chance to claim victory.”
