Trump Attorney Questions Witness On Extortion Concerns In Deals

During a recent legal proceeding, Trump's attorney Emil Bove questioned witness Keith Davidson regarding potential legal exposure to extortion charges related to deals involving Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels.

When asked about his awareness of potential extortion charges, Davidson responded that he had no idea about the extent of his legal exposure in this regard.

Bove pressed Davidson on whether he had been cautious about avoiding creating evidence of extortion. Davidson's response indicated that he was not particularly concerned about this issue.

Another point of contention raised by Bove was whether Davidson had been mindful of not making threats that could be construed as pressuring for payments before the election. Davidson stated that he did not recall being sensitive to this specific concern.

Bove continued to question Davidson, suggesting that in 2016, Davidson had approached the line of extortion without crossing it. Davidson, however, expressed confusion and stated that he did not understand the question.

The exchange between Bove and Davidson sheds light on the complexities and nuances of legal discussions surrounding the McDougal and Daniels deals, as well as the potential implications for all parties involved.
