  • 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.

He didn’t face the carnage that big screen in 2016 | took lives, limbs, and peace of mind, but like many people in Boston, he was gripped by the week’s events. Friends immediately suggested that his next book should be about the bombings. He had no interest in the project, he says, until he heard about the survivors, the fi rst responders, and others at the scene and realized here was a story “about the goodness of people as opposed to the terror we’re watching on-screen.” Wedge, who’d met Sherman when he wrote a Boston Herald story on A Rose for Mary, covered the bombings for the Herald. The two friends com- mitted to collaborating on a book “that would tell the story as fully as we could, and not just what happened in those fi ve days,” Sherman says. “We wanted to embed ourselves with those survivors and see what their life was like every day.” Spending hours with the family of murdered MIT Police offi cer Sean Collier was an experience Sherman says he’ll never forget. “We went in CASEY SHERMAN’S PATH Casey Sherman (COM’93) Boston Strangler, which there not asking questions about Sean to Hollywood started with had no interest in writing questioned the guilt of Collier the police offi cer.

Davidson was asked to provide “certain limited electronic information” for the probe led by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, spokesman Dave Wedge said. “He has done so and will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent possible under the law,” Wedge said in a statement Friday. Shortly before the 2016 election, Davidson negotiated a confidentiality agreement with Cohen under which porn star Stormy Daniels was paid $130,000. Davidson also represented Karen McDougal, a Playboy centerfold, in the $150,000 agreement she struck in August 2016 with the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., for the rights to her story. AMI never published the story. Both Daniels and McDougal have filed lawsuits to get out of their non-disclosure agreements. Earlier this week, McDougal settled with AMI — whose chief executive, David Pecker, is a friend of Trump — and is no longer bound by her contract with the tabloid publisher. FBI agents raided Cohen’s Manhattan office last week, as well as his home and a hotel room.
