President Donald Trump's attorney/fixer Michael Cohen announced Thursday that he is giving up his lawsuits against BuzzFeed and Fusion GPS, but the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels has no intention of following suite.
In an interview Thursday evening with CNN's Erin Burnett, lawyer Michael Avenatti said that he and his client "will never settle this case," unless Trump and Cohen agree to full disclosure about what transpired between them and the coverup.
"Who knew what when? What the president knew, right? You're talking about the full monty?" Burnett asked.
"The full full monty," Avenatti replied. "Without that, there will be no settlement. I will say this, though, today, it appears as though Michael Cohen is smarter than the president because Michael Cohen is cutting his losses on these other cases [and] appears to be focussing on our case and the criminal matter. It appears that he's focused where he needs to be."
Meanwhile, Avenatti said that Trump is focused on his crowd size in Key West, Florida.
When it came to criticism lodged at Avenatti and Daniels from the president's allies, the attorney said that people on the right are getting "very concerned." As such, he believes that they are attempting to distract from the case and attack her personally, claiming this is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"They don't like it," he said. "They are worried and they should be worried."
