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.
In response, Cohen instructed Davidson to craft a strong denial comment for Daniels, similar to what had been done previously. This exchange highlights the behind-the-scenes communication between Cohen and Davidson regarding the media attention surrounding the hush money payment.
The text messages provide insight into the efforts made to manage the narrative and respond to media inquiries related to the payment made to Daniels. They underscore the strategic approach taken by Cohen and his associates in handling the situation as it unfolded in the public eye.
