Avenatti now representing 3 women who claim to have been paid hush money by Trump

Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against President Donald Trump, now also represents three additional women who claim to have had affairs with Trump that they were paid to stay silent about.

The Associated Press reported Thursday that Avenatti announced his new clients at a forum in West Hollywood, California, but declined to name them. He said he had evidence of the three women’s respective affairs with the president but was “not at liberty to share” it. All three women, he said, were paid “hush money” before the 2016 election.

Avenatti emerged months ago as a prominent figure in the president’s legal battles, representing Daniels in her legal quest to be freed from a nondisclosure agreement related to a one-night affair she claims to have had with the president. She is also suing the president for defamation over a post to his Twitter account in which he dismissed Daniels’ account of an unknown man approaching her and warning her to “leave Trump alone” as a “total con job.”

Lawyer: Do you think these women could provide evidence that could hurt you?
Trump: Yes
Lawyer: Pay them.

It's rather amazing how attorney-client privilege just disappeared overnight. You may as well assume anything you tell a lawyer will end up in public.

How did it disappear? 

According to court documents filed Thursday, Special master Barbara Jones found that 1,452 out of the 4,085 items designated privileged by the lawyer’s legal team are not privileged. Jones "agrees with the plaintiff" that 2,633 of the documents or records meet attorney-client privilege standards.

The things we know about, like Broidy/Bechard and the Trump/Cohen tape are because privilege was waived.  The fact 2600 documents out of millions seized just means Cohen really wasn't doing very much lawyering.
