During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass has shifted the focus to the Karen McDougal case. He is meticulously guiding the jurors through a series of text messages exchanged between Michael Cohen and Trump's bodyguard Keith Schiller. These messages were sent after Cohen became aware of the potential story involving McDougal.
Additionally, Steinglass is presenting evidence in the form of text messages and call logs that indicate National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard was involved in the situation. The records show that Howard traveled to California in June 2016 to interview McDougal, suggesting a level of coordination in handling the story.
