Who today went on the view. Im tired of being threatened and intimidating me and trying to say that youll ruin my life and take my, you know, all my money and my house and whatever, im sorry, im done. Im done being bullied. Reporter Stormy Daniels has said she would give all the money back, and that President Trump never even signed the agreement to silence her. Just two weeks ago, the president said he knew nothing about Michael Cohen paying off Stormy Daniels. Did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . No, no. Did that surprise you at all . Let me just say, im in the adult business, and im a better actress than he is. Reporter daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti also now releasing this sketch which they say is based on her memory of the man who allegedly threatened her and her baby in a parking lot in 2011. I just remember him saying, thats a beautiful little girl, it would be a shame if something happened to her mom. Forget about this story, leave mr. Trump alone. This is a very detailed sketch and it was created by a woman by the name of lois gibson. She has the world record for the most identifications. She works with the fbi and Law Enforcement all around the country. Were offering 100,000 reward for information leading to the identification of this man. Reporter and Stormy Daniels isnt the only one talking after yesterdays courtroom drama. Some recent news about yours truly that came up today. Reporter it was revealed Michael Cohen had just three clients last year. One, President Trump. The second, republican fundraiser elliot broidy. The wall street journal reports broidy arranged a 1. 6 million payment to a model who became pregnant during her affair with him. And in court, audible gasps when it was revealed the third client was sean hannity. My name was mentioned in Court Proceedings earlier today. Reporter hannity, who tweeted this photo with cohen in 2015, says he relied on cohen for advice and it never involved a third party. Michael cohen never represented me represented me in any legal manner. I never retained his services. I never received an invoice. I never paid Michael Cohen for legal fees. My questions exclusively almost focused on real estate. Reporter but sean hannity never disclosed to his audience that he was a client of Michael Cohens. Even as he defended cohen on his show. Liberal mainstream media, theyve gone totally off the rails over the fbis highly questionable raid on Michael Cohen. Reporter hannity defending cohen on the same day President Trump tweeted, big show tonight on sean hannity. Overnight, wellknown defense attorney, alan dershowitz, criticizing hannity on his own show. Well, first of all, sean, i do want to say that i really think that you should have disclosed your relationship with cohen when you talked about him on this show. And abcs Kyra Phillips joins us again tonight. Fox news now responding to what was revealed in court . Reporter david, fox news says they were surprised by the hannity reveal. They say they didnt know about hannitys, quote, informal relationship with cohen. They also say hannity continues to have full support from fox news. David . Kyra phillips with us tonight. Kyra, thank you. Lets get to dan abrams for more. And dan, we know that Michael Cohen and the president were trying to protect a lot of what was seized in those fbi raids. So, bottom line tonight, who seems to have the upper hand in this current fight . Reporter well, look, the president and Michael Cohen lost in their effort to be the initial ones to go in and determine whats privileged and whats not. The prosecutor goes in, they put it on a database. Both sides are going to have access to it. The only remaining question is, who should make the first decisions . Federal prosecutors or an independent individual . But regardless, the defense is going to have a continuing say in this battle. In what stays and what goes. Exactly. You have pointed all along here that fbi agents cant go in there to get everything they can find on the president. They just simply cant do that. And this wasnt about the president. This was about Michael Cohen. They had evidence that they brought to a judge that Michael Cohen may have committed a crime and that there was a risk of destroying evidence. Thats the only way you get a judge to sign off on Something Like this. To actually raid an attorneys office, which is very rare. Very, very rare. And there are specific procedures in place you have to follow when that happens. All right, dan abraabrams, t you. We turn next tonight to a sweeping decision revealed by starbucks this evening.
