A federal judge ruled that a lawsuit filed by Stormy Daniels over an alleged “hush money” deal with President Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen will be put on hold for three months because of a criminal investigation Cohen is facing, Politico reports.
The judge said it appeared “likely” that Cohen would be indicted in connection with the ongoing investigation.
Michael Avenatti, a lawyer for Daniels, responded in a tweet: “Justice delayed is justice denied.”
