Lawyer who negotiated Stormy Daniels deal to resume Trump-trial testimony

Keith Davidson, who also represented Karen McDougal, gave colorful testimony about how agreements came together in 2016

The lawyer who negotiated hush-money deals on behalf of two women alleged to have had affairs with Donald Trump is set to continue testifying in Donald Trump’s criminal trial on Thursday in Manhattan.

Keith Davidson has already given colorful testimony about how deals to pay Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels came together in 2016. Prosecutors are using his testimony to help jurors understand the mechanics of Trump’s efforts to pay off women and convince jurors that it was done in service of his campaign.
