      I’m at Michael Cohen’s hearing today to get an update on the material seized from him, how the special master is going seeing which docs are covered by attorney-client privilege AND to see if Michael Avenatti, aka Stormy Daniels lawyer, can be involved in the case. Stay tuned!

      JUST IN: In the wake of today's hearing — where Avenatti faced aggressive questioning from Judge Wood and rough opposition from Cohen's lawyers — Avenatti has withdrawn his motion to be admitted for the purpose of representing Stormy Daniels in court in the Cohen matter.pic.twitter.com/oM80534hS3

      He says he will re-file if needed at a later point, but this definitely suggests a backing down, for now, on this issue. (Although it's not quite clear to me what that really was beyond what he's already gotten out of it.)

      (Yes, I would agree, at least in part, with those saying that he likely decided to withdraw his motion after Judge Wood made it clear that part of his being admitted would mean that she'd expect him to stop trying the matter in the media.)

          .Totally. I'm sure he had the motion to withdraw in his back pocket to file if needed. He can definitely move his case better/ faster without having to abide by what would be essentially a gag order

          So, rather than being defeated like you wrote this, he made a tactical decision once given the parameters of the judges consideration. That sounds more like him.

          He is being paid by somebody to keep this circus in the media until the midterms. That is the entire point of his representing Stormy at the expense of unknown parties. Every interview, every tv appearance, all paid as legal counsel.
