Did a lawyer for Michael Cohen just detonate the case . Stormy daniels claims she should be free from that nda, nondisclosure agreement that she signed because trump never signed it, essentially rendering it invalid. I want you to listen to what the lawyer for trumps longtime attorney, Michael Cohen, said here on cnn. The president was not aware of the agreement.
