“You’re a very passionate guy on behalf of your client, Michael Cohen,” Avenatti told Schwartz. “If Michael Cohen is such a stand-up guy, where is he? Where is this guy? Why won’t he come and sit in this chair?”
“Believe me, he can’t wait to come here and sit with you and talk about this case,” Schwartz responded.
The segment, hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, comes amid bitter legal dispute over the agreement.
Daniels says in court papers that she signed the document just before the 2016 election in exchange for $130,000 in hush money – a payment arranged by Cohen, as the Wall Street Journal revealed in January.
After embarking on a striptease tour earlier this year called “Make America Horny Again,” Daniels sued Trump in March to get out of the agreement, alleging it was invalid because he never signed it. Cohen fired back in his own filings last week, claiming he was entitled to $20 million in damages because she had violated it 20 times.
Adding to the tension, CBS’s “60 Minutes” is scheduled to air an interview between Cooper and Daniels on March 25. The White House has denied that there was ever an affair between Trump and the porn star.
In Tuesday’s CNN segment, Schwartz told Cooper that Trump was a third-party beneficiary to the agreement, and that Cohen had acted on his own accord. There was a spot for Trump’s signature, but Trump didn’t sign it. He didn’t have to, Schwartz said.
