WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Michael Avenatti, the attorney who represents porn star Stormy Daniels, said Thursday that he is representing three other women who claim they were paid by Donald Trump, AMI and Michael Cohen to keep quiet.
Avenatti was doing a panel in West Hollywood that included Mayor John Duran, former federal prosecutor Steve Madison and Mariana Magana Gamero, who is part of the Coalition for Human Immigration Rights of Los Angeles.
During the panel, Avenatti stood up and announced the information to the audience. He said the women claim they were paid by AMI Entertainment, Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen to stay quiet. He did not reveal what they were paid to stay quiet about.
He added that one of the women claimed to be pregnant at the time, and that he is in the process of getting clearance from his clients to release more details relating to the payments.

(10,131 posts)Because with the audio recording chatter about setting up a company with Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg, along with the above claim, they should have enough to get a warrant to look at all Trump's personal and business finances.
"Follow the money"
And Weisselberg probably just got in deeper (already under criminal scrutiny for the Trump Foundation) so he's more prone to flip ...
Lastly, this scandal is getting to the point where even the corrupt GOP will be unable to continue to prop Trump up.
The abortion won't turn all the Evangelicals against Trump but it will be like a wedge issue: it will peel away a percentage.
