President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen should release their bank statements, Stormy Daniels' attorney said Wednesday.
Michael Avenatti, who is representing the former adult film star, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Trump and Cohen should prove their claims by releasing their bank statements to the public.
"Look, let me say this, to the extent that it's not accurate, the president and Michael Cohen should clear this up this morning," he said. "They should release the bank statements this morning."
On Tuesday night, Avenatti said that Cohen has collected payments from AT&T and Columbus Nova, a company with connections to Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, according to Politico.
"Michael Cohen should turn over all of his bank records," he told CNN on Tuesday. "Just release them. If there's nothing to hide, he should release the bank records, and I am sure it will all be sorted out."
According to Avenatti, the same bank account that Cohen used to pay Daniels was also involved in transactions totaling more than $4.4 million from October 2016 to January 2018.
"Michael Cohen appears to be selling access to the president of the United States," Avenatti said on Wednesday.
"The bigger picture is that we don't know as we sit here today the full extent of the deposits," he added. "Where did the money go? Did all of it go to Michael Cohen? Did some of it go back to the Trump Organization? Did some of it ultimately find its way to the president?"
