Basically this would allow the case to focus on Trump, and ignore Cohen for now. I think he wants to force Trump into depositions. It might even work. He brings up Guilianis statements recently to support his case.
And Trump didnt help either:
Quote:
President was asked about the investigation into Cohen. Trump responded that investigators are looking into Cohen's business -- not the legal work Cohen did related to Daniels -- and that Trump campaign funds were not used to pay Daniels the $130,000 hush fee.
These statements, Avenatti said, contradict Cohen's case for asking the judge for a temporary stay in the Daniels lawsuit, because they "call into question whether Mr. Cohen's Fifth Amendment rights relating to the matters at issue in this case are as compelling as previously argued."
