Fox News host Sean Hannity said Monday President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, never represented him. That after Cohen's lawyer …
Apr 17, 2018 · Sean Hannity took to his own show to “set the record straight” about his connection to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, saying that Michael Cohen never represented him in any legal matter and that he never retained any services or received an invoice or paid Cohen for legal services.

Just before Monday's hearing, Mr Cohen said in a statement that he had only provided advice to three clients in the past year.
Also in the Manhattan federal court was Ms Daniels, whose appearance triggered a scrum by photographers outside.
