In 2018, Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, revealed that Trump had considered taking legal action against adult film actress Stormy Daniels. This decision came after Daniels went public with her story, breaching a nondisclosure agreement she had signed with Trump.
Cohen testified that Trump wanted to file an arbitration action against Daniels for violating the nondisclosure agreement. He mentioned being contacted by Eric Trump and discussing the arbitration proceedings with the former president.
When asked about his work for Trump in 2017 and 2018, Cohen stated that he did more work for Trump in 2018. He clarified that he was not paid for this work and did not bill for it.
The revelation sheds light on the legal challenges Trump faced during his presidency, particularly regarding his interactions with Stormy Daniels. The situation underscores the complexities of handling such matters in the public eye and the legal strategies employed by Trump and his legal team.
