For a moment Thursday, it appeared Stephanie Clifford, the adult-film actress better known as Stormy Daniels, would be allowed to intervene in the court proceeding over the material the government seized from the offices and home of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Clifford’s attorney, private attorney Michael Avenatti, was on hand during the hearing called by U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood of the Southern District of New York to name a special master to oversee the handling of potentially privileged materials seized by the government. Ahead of the hearing, Avenatti had filed papers with the court to intervene in the matter.
