Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels, claimed Thursday that President Trump, his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, and AMI Entertainment paid off three other women in an attempt to keep them from going public about an unspecified matter
, according to a new report.
Speaking on a panel at an event in West Hollywood, Avenatti
reportedly said he is representing three other women in addition to Daniels, who was paid $130,000 days before the 2016 presidential election in return for not talking about her
decade-earlier sexual affair with Trump
.
During the panel
with Mayor John Duran, a former federal prosecutor, and a member of the Coalition for Human
e Immigra
nt
Rights of Los Angeles, Avenatti stood up and unexpectedly shared the information about his newer clients, a local media outlet reported.
Avenatti
reportedly did not share how much each woman was paid, when he took them on as clients, or other information
, though he said
one of the woman
claimed to be
pregnant at the time of the alleged pay
off
. He said he
hoped to be able to share more information about that client soon.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford,
is suing
Trump
over a
nondisclosure agreement.
