“You dont believe that Michael Cohen just cut a check for $130K for his dear friend Mr. Trump, to a women who came up with an accusation that totally isnt true?” Late Show host Stephen Colbert asked Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti.
Avenatti came armed what what he claimed was a brand new piece of evidence in one of the three lawsuits he is involved in concerning Stormy and the President of the United States.
Daniels has sued to get out of the 2016 NDA she signed in exchange for $130,000, which Trumps personal attorney Michael Cohen said he paid for personally and about which he said Trump knew nothing. Stormy also has sued Trump for defamation over some of his tweets that appeared to be pointed in her general direction.
“Its absurd to suggest that an attorney would advance $130K for somebody from a personal home equity loan, never tell him about it – not just anyone but a billionaire running for president – never seek reimbursement, never tell him about,” Avenatti said. “Its just absurd, it ridiculous. Nobody believes that.”
“Maybe hed just really bad at his job,” Colbert suggested.
“I would agree with you hes a terrible attorney, but hes not that stupid,” Avenatti replied.
“Youve got a new piece of evidence for us tonight…This is a copy of the thing. Well show it to the audience. Describe what you are about to reveal to America for the very first time. This is an exclusive. No one has heard about this before….”
