On October 17, a text exchange between a National Enquirer editor and Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, has shed light on the behind-the-scenes dealings involving the media coverage of a sensitive matter. The editor informed Cohen that they were going with DailyMail for a story, prompting Cohen to request a call for further details.
After not receiving a response, Cohen followed up with the editor, only to find out that his calls were being ignored. The editor mentioned that he was unable to reach a certain 'agent,' which Cohen later identified as Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Keith Davidson.
