## Transcript

You have amended the lawsuit to now include Michael Cowen. Previously, it was the LLC he had set up and it was also President Trump. Why amend it now to include Michael Cowen and what's the acquisition of defamation? Well, Anderson, what we have done is, we have brought in Michael Cowen individually. Previously, it was the limited liability company that he had set up strictly to facilitate the payment. We've named Michael Cohen individually as it relates to what we allege are defamatory statements that he made. Mainly, he made some statements earlier this year where by he basically said that the affair never happened in not so many words and made my client out to be a liar.

So we're gonna test the voracity of his Statements against those of my client. You've played the interview of my client over the last 45 minutes or so. We think that 90 % of America, if not more, found her very, very credible. And Michael Cohen has a lot of explaining to do, relating to his statements to the American people. What does, as part of the amendment you're also asking for monetary damages. All along, though, I thought you said this wasn't about money, this was about validating this NDA. Well, I think that we're gonna be able to show that there's been some monitary damages that she's suffered by way of his defamatory statements and, Above all else Anderson, she wants her name cleared.

She doesn't appreciate the misstatements and the half truths that Michael Cohen and others have spread to the American people. She's gonna prove that what she said to you on 60 Minutes, was a 100 % accurate and that she's credible and we're gonna show That what she told you and what she told the American people was the truth. And that what Michael Cohen, the spin that he's been trying to sell to the American people, is a bunch of rubbish. Whether it be about my client, the $ 130, 000, the fact that Mr. Trump supposedly knew nothing about this. It just doesn't add up. The American people are smarter than this.
