NEW YORK ¨C A lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, on Wednesday accused adult film actress Stormy Daniels¡¯ lawyer of leaking Cohen¡¯s bank records to the press, calling it a ¡°drive-by shooting of my client¡¯s rights.¡±
The comments by Cohen lawyer Stephen Ryan regarding Daniels¡¯ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, came during an often-heated hearing before U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood in Manhattan related to a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors into Cohen¡¯s business dealings.
Avenatti told Wood he did not release anything improper about Cohen, who has not been charged with a crime.
