During the recent proceedings, Michael Cohen was presented with an email from Keith Davidson containing the initial settlement agreement between Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump, dated October 10, 2016. The email, sent by Davidson on October 11, 2016, shed light on the early stages of the agreement.
Cohen revealed that by October 11, he and Davidson had already reached an understanding on the terms of the settlement. This included the agreed-upon sum of $130,000 and a notable liquidated damages clause of $1 million per violation. Cohen claimed that the idea for the $1 million damages clause originated from him.
Furthermore, it was disclosed that during discussions surrounding the settlement agreement, Trump discreetly passed a note to attorney Todd Blanche. The contents of this note were not revealed, adding an air of intrigue to the unfolding events.
