NEW YORK _ President Donald Trump's former fixer apparently had yet another celebrity client: ousted Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.
Michael Cohen, formerly a lawyer for Trump, said he helped bury "personal photos between a husband and wife" during an alleged blackmail.
Falwell told The Washington Post earlier this week that someone had stolen not-safe-for-work photos of him and his wife, Becki, in their backyard and was threatening to expose them.
"They weren't fully nude," Falwell said. "They were just pictures of my wife. I was proud of how she looked."
That's when Cohen stepped in and helped.
"Jerry and Becki (were) very upset at the prospect of (the photos') potential public release," Cohen told CNN Wednesday.
The details of the photos of the alleged blackmailer are scarce, but the news comes at the same time as the news of a steamy scandal with the Falwells.
Former pool boy Giancarlo Granda told Politico that he had a long-term sexual relationship with Becki, while Falwell watched.
Falwell confirmed the affair but denied any involvement.
"While we tried to distance ourselves from (Granda) over time, he unfortunately became increasingly angry and aggressive," Falwell told Politico. "Eventually, he began threatening to publicly reveal this secret relationship with Becki and to deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies."
