During the ongoing trial of Michael Cohen, prosecutor Susan Hoffinger presented text messages exchanged between Cohen and Keith Davidson in January 2018. The messages shed light on the hush money payment Cohen made to Stormy Daniels.
Davidson, who previously represented Daniels, informed Cohen on January 10, 2018, that the Wall Street Journal had reached out to Daniels for comment on the story. He mentioned that the publication was planning to run a story and had set a deadline for Daniels to respond that night.
