President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen has filed to move his lawsuit brought by adult film actress Stormy Daniels from state to federal court.
The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman tweeted filings on Friday evening that show Cohen filing for the removal from state to federal court, as well as their motion to bring on lawyer Charles Harder.
As the Times‘ Jim Rutenberg noted, the motion marks the first time Trump has formally joined the legal battle against the actress he claimed, through his lawyer, to never have had relations with.
