The fourth witness of the day to take the stand is Keith Davidson, who worked as an attorney for Karen McDougal — the Playboy playmate who accused Donald Trump of having a monthslong affair. Trump has denied the affair.
For instance, he called the alleged dealings between his client, Karen McDougal, and Trump a"personal interaction." The email goes onto decry the gag order as an “undeniable election interference” effort and includes a link to contribute financially to his campaign.Davidson said that by June 20, 2016, Dylan Howard texted him that he had landed and was en route to Davidson’s office, where they met with McDougal, Jay Giardina , and a man named Johnny Crawford, a friend of McDougal's.
Howard had responded to Davison,"Talk 1st thing, I will get you more than ANYONE for it. You know why...""But I knew that Dylan’s boss David Pecker and Mr. Trump were longtime friends and had a former business relationship," Davison continued."Mr. Pecker published Trump magazine, and at the time, AMI had announced, kind of announced explicitly that they had endorsed Mr. Trump’s candidacy," Davidson continued.
“I can’t and won’t discuss what I discussed with Ms. McDougal,” Davidson said, drawing a firm line with respect to attorney-client communications.Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Keith Davidson a few questions about how he knows Karen McDougal. He said he met her about 25 years ago and she was dating his friend.
He said that he was involved in media cases from 2003 to 2017, and that he regularly worked on nondisclosure agreements from 2015 to 2017 through which parties agreed to not discuss certain subjects.He acknowledged knowing a talent manager named Gina Rodriguez, who primarily manages reality TV stars, and has known her for more than a decade.Prosecutors have just called Keith Davidson to the stand. He is the former attorney for both Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels.
The last guy — Robert X. Browning — came from Indiana, leading his employer, C-SPAN, to hire counsel. Now, it's clear Thompson's employer, Esquire Deposition Solutions, has also had to hire counsel and fly him out from Texas to serve as a witness in the trial.
