Legendary criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos advised President Donald Trump and attorney Michael Cohen to give up their legal fight against Stormy Daniels.

“You have experience working with the celebrities and going up against other celebrities, what to you make of the new development?” Cabrera asked. “We didn’t hear much from Trump, why is that significant from the standpoint, of what he did say?”
“Well, it is very significant and Michael is not prone to exaggeration when he says it is Christmas and Hanukkah all rolled up into one,” Geragos replied. “If you are representing a client and the issue that you want to bring forth is that it is not a valid agreement, and Trump is saying that he knew nothing about the $130,000 payment gives you the ability to go in to do discovery on it, which means that is a deposition, things of that nature, and the testimony and presumably a jury trial as opposed to going straight to arbitration.”
“And the other thing is, that when Trump invites the press to go talk and go ask Michael Cohen or see what he had to say and repeated it twice, that is arguably a waiver of the attorney/client privilege” he noted, “and so it’s a one-two punch that I don’t think that Michael Cohen is happy about.”
