Cohen filed for a restraining order against Avenatti

Michael Cohen seeks restraining order to stop Stormy Daniels' lawyer from speaking to the press

(CNN)President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen filed for a restraining order late Thursday against Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, to prevent him from speaking to the press about the adult film star's lawsuit.

"Avenatti's actions are mainly driven by his seemingly unquenchable thirst for publicity," the filing said, alleging that Avenatti "routinely denigrates" Cohen.

Avenatti's "publicity tour," the filing said, is "likely to result in Mr. Cohen being deprived of his right to a fair trial, and threatens to turn what should be a solemn federal court proceeding into a media circus."
