During a recent court session, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented text messages exchanged between then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen and another individual, identified as Davidson. The messages in question revolved around a Wall Street Journal article concerning adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Davidson informed Cohen via text that the Wall Street Journal had attempted to contact Stormy Daniels for comment but had not received a response. The publication indicated they were planning to run a story and had set a deadline for Daniels to provide a comment by that evening.
When questioned in court by Steinglass, Davidson clarified that the communication was related to what he referred to as the Daniels 'settlement,' rather than a payout. Cohen, in response to the situation, instructed Davidson to craft a strong denial comment for Daniels, similar to previous instances.
Steinglass probed further, seeking confirmation that the denial should encompass all aspects, including any alleged sexual encounter between Daniels and Donald Trump. Davidson affirmed that the denial should cover all aspects, including the mentioned encounter.
