The attorney who negotiated hush-money payments in 2016 on behalf of two women who claimed to have engaged in extramarital relationships with President Donald Trump believes the president could still be in legal jeopardy for his alleged role in directing efforts to silence them, citing language prosecutors
used in an indictment of his former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, last year.
Davidson says he met with Manhattan-based federal prosecutors for more than 15 hours and handed over more than 1,500 documents as part of their investigation into potential campaign finance violations and the president’s inauguration committee. In an interview Monday on"Good Morning America," Davidson said he believes the hush-money payments were"done for political reasons," as opposed to personal protection of his family, and claimed the release of the infamous"Access Hollywood" tape sparked the urgency behind cutting a deal with Daniels.
Both Daniels and McDougal have criticized Davidson’s legal performance, leading Daniels to file a lawsuit against Davidson in June 2018, in which she called him a"puppet" for Trump. Davidson denied the charge and later filed a countersuit, which he ultimately dropped. Daniels' lawsuit has been stayed until related investigations are completed.
Story continues"It was an incredible meeting and there were even further promises that were made to her at that meeting,” Davidson said."So the situation actually became worse, not better."
