Trump trial: Stormy Daniels lawyer testifies on dealings with ‘hostile’ Michael Cohen

on Tuesday about his experiences negotiating deals in 2016 to silence two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump.

Davidson testified that he first interacted with Cohen in 2011 when he sent a warning letter to a blog featuring claims about Daniels’s alleged relations with Trump. Davidson said Cohen had an aggressive demeanor. Cohen, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s star witness, would later plead guilty to several charges in 2018 that included arranging hush money payments to Daniels and McDougal. Trump’s attorneys have indicated that they plan to highlight that Cohen has also pleaded guilty to perjury-related crimes, including lying to a bank and to Congress, and that he is therefore untrustworthy.

“I think you can tell by these emails I was sending him there was a great level of frustration by me and my client,” Davidson told the court. Prosecutors have described AMI’s practice of paying for rights to stories and then opting not to publish the stories as a “catch-and-kill” scheme and that, in Trump’s case, amounted to an illegal conspiracy to swing the 2016 election in Trump’s favor. Defense attorneys have said that nothing about suppressing the unflattering stories was illegal and that AMI helped many high-profile figures in the same manner, not just Trump.
