Trump Says Avenatti Wants to Take ‘Media Tour’ to LA Court
President Donald Trump and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen said Michael Avenatti is trying to reactivate Stephanie Clifford’s Los Angeles lawsuit “to continue his media tour” in court. Clifford, the adult movie star who goes by the name Stormy Daniels, will suffer no harm if the case she brought to get out of a 2016 “hush agreement” remains on hold, according to a filing Friday in federal court in Los Angeles by Cohen and Trump’s lawyers.

James Otero agreed in April to temporarily halt the Los Angeles proceedings after Cohen said he’d be forced to use his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination if he were asked to testify.

Former President Bill Clinton defended himself Monday from recent criticism of his affair with Monica Lewinsky in light of the #MeToo movement, telling NBC News he never reached out to the former White House intern following the scandal.Speaking to "Today," Clinton defended his decision to remain in office following the scandal."A lot of the facts have been conveniently omitted to make the story work, I think partly because they're frustrated that they got all these serious allegations against the current occupant of the Oval Office and his voters don't seem to care," Clinton said, pointing to a series of sexual misconduct allegations against current President Donald Trump, who has denied them. "I think I did the right thing. I defended the Constitution." Asked if he owed Lewinsky an apology, President Clinton told NBC's Craig Melvin, "No, I do not -- I have never talked to her.
