Court Grants 90-Day Stay In Case Against Cohen/Trump

The Associated Press reports:

A judge on Friday delayed a lawsuit by porn actress Stormy Daniels against President Donald Trump and his personal attorney. Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, asked for the delay after FBI agents raided his home and office earlier this month. The FBI was seeking records about a nondisclosure agreement Daniels signed days before the 2016 presidential election.

U.S. District Judge S. James Otero agreed to pause the case for three months and set a hearing for July 27. Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, tweeted that he’d likely be filing an immediate appeal of Otero’s ruling with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “We do not agree with it,” Avenatti wrote. “Justice delayed is justice denied.”
