  • Amid Trump's Legal Troubles, Two Lawyers' Names Keep Surfacing Together
    April 26, 2018 MySanantonio.com Link to original article: https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Amid-Trump-s-legal-troubles-two-lawyers-names-128 67949.php Amid Trump's legal troubles, two lawyers' names keep surfacing together By Beth Reinhard, Emma Brown and Frances Stead Sellers, The Washington Post The two lawyers' names keep surfacing in tandem, again and again, in the context of deals in which women were paid to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with powerful men. Now, the relationship between Michael Cohen and Keith Davidson is drawing public scrutiny as federal authorities investigating Cohen examine payments made to women whose stories could have damaged Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Davidson is cooperating with the probe and has provided investigators with "certain limited electronic information," according to the lawyer's spokesman. Cohen, Trump's longtime adviser, and Davidson, a Los Angeles lawyer, have crossed paths at least five times in the past two years. In the most recent instance, Cohen collected a fee said to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in a deal Davidson helped orchestrate. New attorneys for Davidson's former clients, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, both of whom allege they had affairs with Trump years ago, say the relationship between Cohen and Davidson has seemed too cozy. "This is supposed to be an adversarial process," said Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti. "These guys should not be in the same bedroom, let alone the same bed." Cohen did not respond to requests for comment. Nor did his lawyers Brent Blakely and Stephen Ryan. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Davidson rejected the suggestion that his dealings with Cohen were in any way improper, saying they have a "purely professional" relationship and did not meet in person until early 2018.

By ROBERT BRIDGES [email protected] The Columbia Youth Soccer Association is the subject of a criminal probe by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, an FDLE spokes- person confirmed Thursday. FDLE Communications Director Gretl Plessinger said the investigation was ongoing and declined further comment. CYSA has been at the center of controversy since it was revealed $52,000 went missing from the group’s accounts in 2010 and 2011. An independent financial review showed $52,688.20 in undocumented reimbursements between October 2010 and September 2011.

ISSUE Chamber bashes development delay BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer SM CHAMBER With 10 proposals for “devel- opment agreements” — specialized con- tracts generally used for large-scale real estate projects — pending at City Hall, members of the City Council are under pres- sure from all sides. Groups like the Coalition for a Livable City have long sought to reign-in the pace and scale of development, calling on the council, which has final say on whether the projects get built, to postpone hearings on development agree- ments until after a major update to City Hall’s general plan, the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE), is completed. Waiting until after the LUCE is adopted will give officials a better idea of the commu- nity’s vision for areas of the city where devel- opment is proposed, these groups argue, thus giving the council a better framework for considering potential projects. City Councilman Kevin McKeown has pro- posed a development agreement “time-out” to his colleagues on the council, placing the idea on last night’s agenda. The council had not voted on the item by deadline Tuesday. His proposal, though, had already enlivened the opposition.

  • The Temptations of Scapegoating
    THE TEMPTATIONS OF SCAPEGOATING Daniel B. Yeager* INTRODUCTION The origin of this Article is a September 12, 1991 faculty meeting I attended that was brie¯y preempted by a colleague's revelation that two days earlier, a Marion County, Indiana grand jury had indicted former heavyweight boxing cham- pion Mike Tyson for the rape of Desiree Washington. Washington, who was in Indianapolis representing Rhode Island at the Miss Black America beauty pageant, met Tyson, a celebrity guest of the pageant, at a rehearsal on July 17, 1991.1 Two days later, Tyson called Washington at 1:30 a.m., agitating to see her.2 After Tyson picked Washington up from the Omni Severin Hotel in a chauffeured limousine, he told her they would be taking a brief detour to retrieve an item from his room at the Canterbury Hotel.3 At 2:00 a.m., the two entered room 606 at the Canterbury, which Washington left an hour later for the Omni.4 An hour after that, Tyson left Indianapolis and headed for Cleveland.5 The next day, Washington was admitted to the Methodist Hospital emergency room, where she reported the rape.6 From the moment police became involved, Tyson continuously denied the accusation.7 In response to the news that Tyson might be a rapist, my colleague gave the fol- lowing summary: On the one hand, I would hate to see a male celebrity athlete, who gets paid to be violent, violate some comparatively low-status personÐan 18-year-old beauty queenÐas though her right to choose her sexual partners doesn't even matter.
