Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti said on Monday President Trump and his personal attorney MIchael Cohen could be forced to provide depositions by the first day of summer.
Avenatti told TMZ in a live interview Monday afternoon that he is moving the legal case against Trump and Cohen as “expeditiously as possible” and wants to get both men’s depositions in the next 60 to 90 days, if a judge gives consent.
“We’re not going to need a lot of time with either of those gentlemen because I think it’s pretty straight-forward — the facts and the circumstances of this case. We’re going to ask the questions that really shouldn’t be that tough to answer unless you’re trying to hide and cover up things, which frankly we expect,” Avenatti said. “Rest assured that we’re going to move at godspeed to get to the bottom of this.”
TMZ co-host Harvey Levin asked the attorney how he would rank the issues of concern that have been mentioned by the media in the case involving Daniels.
Avenatti said the issue of sexual intercourse was the least important compared to allegations that someone in his camp threatened Daniels in 2011, Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 ahead of the 2016 election, and that that payment may have violated campaign finance laws.
