Avenatti Dossier
The newest document from Michael Avenatti is fascinating reading. I don't know how he got this information or how accurate it all is, but at least two of payors are confirmed. ATT admits it paid Cohen and Novartis does too, but in a sneaky way, throwing their former CEO under the bus by saying that “any contracts were done prior to (chief executive officer Vasant Narasimhan) taking over.” This suggests that the rest of the information may be true. If so, Cohen misled the bank about the purpose of the account he created and a lot of money went into it for the same company that paid Stormy Daniels. A large amount came from a company linked to a Russian oligarch, and, the payments into Cohen increased after Trump became president. The only question now is how much went from his account to the benefit of the new President?
