6 year oldPorn star Stormy Daniels sues former lawyer Keith Davidson, claiming he was a 'puppet' of Trump and attorney Michael Cohen
- Porn star Stormy Daniels sued her ex-lawyer Keith Davidson and President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen on Wednesday.
- Daniels claims Davidson became a puppet of Trump and Cohen, undercutting her interests.
- The suit says that Cohen and Davidson hatched a plan to have Daniels appear on Fox News to falsely deny a report that she had an affair with Trump.
Porn star Stormy Daniels sued her former lawyer and President Donald Trump's attorney Michael Cohen on Wednesday, claiming they jointly "hatched a plan" to get her to falsely deny an affair with Trump on Fox News.
Daniels' suit alleges her ex-attorney, Keith Davidson, "abdicated his role as an advocate" for the actress, "and instead elected to be a puppet for Mr. Cohen and Mr. Trump."
The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that Trump knew Davidson and Cohen were talking to one another for his benefit, without Daniels herself having been aware of it at the time.
Daniels, who is now being represented by Michael Avenatti, claims Davidson breached his fiduciary duty to her and accuses Cohen of "aiding and abetting" Davidson in that breach of duty.
A lawyer for Cohen did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
