Avenatti warns there are more secret recordings of Trump

Michael Avenatti has a warning for President Donald Trump: More tapes are out there.

At a roundtable Sunday on ABC News, the lawyer for adultfilm star Stormy Daniels said that the secret recording of Trump that was revealed two days ago is far from the only one made by Trump’s longtime attorney Michael Cohen.

“This is not the only tape,” Avenatti said. “I can tell you that for a fact. There’s multiple tapes.”

He added: “That, ultimately, is going to prove to be a big problem for the president. You know, that old adage, ‘You’ve lived by the sword, you die by the sword,’ is going to be true in this case, because the president knew that his attorney, Michael Cohen, had a predisposition towards taping conversations with people.”

On Friday, three people with knowledge of the conversation told the Washington Post that Cohen had secretly taped a conversation with Trump in September 2016 about whether to purchase the rights to Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal’s account of her alleged affair with Trump.

That conversation took place one month after the parent company of the National Enquirer, bought the rights to her story for $150,000, then shelved it.

Cohen is being investigated for potential bank and electionlaw crimes. The recording was among the records seized in an FBI raid of his office and residences in April, multiple people familiar with the probe said.
