Adult film star Stormy Daniels plans to attend Monday’s court hearing for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer who admitted to paying her $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged sexual affair. Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, confirmed Daniels’ attendance in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “I’m going to be there at 2. I can announce that we got comfortable with a security plan last night for my client, she’s going to attend at 2 on Monday,” Avenatti said. “I think Monday afternoon could prove to be very interesting,” he said. FBI agents raided Cohen’s office and apartment last week as part of a recently announced criminal investigation into his “personal business dealings.” Daniels, who is suing Cohen for defamation, will attend the hearing “to ensure that she is heard and that she’s represented,” Avenatti said. She does not intend to provoke Cohen, he said, but rather “wants to make sure that the American people know that she’s behind efforts to bring to light as much information and documents as possible.”
