President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has hired Clinton White House attorney Lanny Davis to represent him, The New York Times reported.
"Like most of America, I have been following the matter regarding Michael Cohen with great interest," Davis, a Democrat, said in a statement tweeted out by Times reporter Maggie Haberman.
"As an attorney, I have talked to Michael many times in the last two weeks. Then I read his words published on July 2, and I recognized his sincerity," the statement continued. "Michael Cohen deserves to tell his side of the story — subject, of course, to the advice of counsel."
Davis, served as special counsel to former President Bill Clinton from 1996 to 1998.
In a sign Cohen might be ready to provide damaging information about the president, Cohen told ABC News in his first in-depth interview since the FBI raided his offices, home, and hotel room in April that his "first loyalty" was to his family and his country.
"To be crystal clear, my wife, my daughter, and my son, and this country have my first loyalty," he said.
Investigators are looking into whether Cohen violated campaign finance laws when he made a $130,000 hush payment in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump.
