During a recent court proceeding, a text message exchange between Dylan Howard and Michael Cohen was revealed, shedding light on their communication following a meeting with Karen McDougal. In the text, Howard mentioned speaking to DP, referring to David Pecker, and assured Cohen that he had the situation under control. He expressed his intention to convene a three-way call to address the matter further.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Cohen about his insistence on having a call with Howard immediately after meeting with McDougal. Cohen confirmed that he sought an update from Howard to relay to Mr. Trump.
However, when Hoffinger inquired about Howard's opinion on McDougal's story, the judge sustained an objection, preventing Cohen from disclosing Howard's thoughts on the matter.
