Stormy Daniels Is Suing Her Former Lawyer, Claims He Became A ‘Puppet’ For Trump

Stormy Daniels. She’s back in the news. (Come on. She’s like a cockroach. Just when you think you got rid of it for good, it somehow manages to crawl back into the house.)

She’s suing her former lawyer and accusing him of turning into a “puppet” for Trump. Yes, really.

The filing Wednesday alleges that Trump attorney Michael Cohen “hatched a plan” and “colluded” with the adult film actress’ lawyer, Keith Davidson, in an attempt to get her to go on Fox News in January and falsely deny she had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago.

Cohen even referred to Davidson as “pal” in one text message attached to the complaint.

The lawsuit against Davidson and Cohen also claims that Trump was aware the two attorneys were communicating and coordinating for his benefit — unbeknownst to Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.

The suit further accuses Davidson of breaking client confidentiality and tipping off Cohen that Clifford was about to switch to a new lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and announce in court papers that she’d had sex with Trump and signed a $130,000 agreement to keep quiet about it just before the 2016 election

“Mr. Davidson abdicated his role as an advocate and fiduciary of his client Ms. Clifford and instead elected to be a puppet for Mr. Cohen and Mr. Trump in order to advance their interests at the expense of Ms. Clifford,” the suit says.

Davidson’s spokesperson, Dave Wedge, said Daniels’ lawsuit is “outrageously frivolous.”

“That said, Attorney Davidson is very happy that he has filed this lawsuit because he strongly believes that the filing constitutes a full and complete waiver of the attorney-client privilege,” Wedge said in a statement.

“Thankfully, the truth can now finally come out to rebut the false narrative about Attorney Davidson that Mr. Avenatti has been pushing in his more than 175 television appearances and countless other media interviews. Attorney Davidson believes that the American people deserve to know the entire truth — and they soon will. This lawsuit has made that happen.”

More drama. I’m over all of it.
