Michael Cohen wants to delay the lawsuit due to the FBI raid of Cohen’s office, home and hotel room earlier this month.

Reuters reported that U.S. District Judge James Otero said in a Los Angeles courtroom that he needed more time to review the request to stay Daniels’s lawsuit over a nondisclosure agreement regarding her alleged affair with the president.

Otero did not indicate when he would provide a final ruling.

During Friday’s hearing, Daniels’s lawyer Michael Avenatti said during the hearing that Cohen presumably “knows where a lot of bodies are buried,” according to Reuters. He urged that the case proceed quickly because it has “critical importance” to the public.

Federal agents this month reportedly seized documents related to Cohen's $130,000 payment to Daniels, which she says was "hush money" to stay quiet over the affair, as well as materials related to his payment to another woman who claimed she had an affair with Trump.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has sued Cohen and Trump to be released from a nondisclosure agreement about the alleged affair, claiming that the deal is void because Trump didn't sign the document.

She is also suing Cohen for defamation.

Daniels's lawyer indicated this week that they may also sue Trump for defamation after the president called the sketch of a man Daniels said threatened her "a total con job."
