GOP Mega-Donor Will Stop Hush-Money Payments To Mistress
« on: July 02, 2018, 07:50:59 pm »
Top GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy will reportedly stop making payments to an ex-mistress who signed a hush-money agreement that was orchestrated by Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal lawyer.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that Broidy, a venture capitalist who stepped down from his post at the Republican National Committee (RNC) in April, agreed to pay former Playboy model Shera Bechard $1.6 million.

Broidy was prepared to make payments in eight different installments starting in late 2017. The Journal reported in April that those payments to Bechard were made so she would remain silent about their affair. Bechard has said she became pregnant during the affair with Broidy, which lasted more than a year.

Yes, but a bit pricey.  Do you have $1.6M to spare?

So, is this an outcome of the raids on Cohen's offices?

I might be able to pull together $1.60 if she'll take payments?

Sort of, but not directly.  According to the story, it's related to information Keith Davidson shared with Avenatti.

And, coincidentally targeted a GOP Mega-donor.

Well, a coincidence in the sense Broidy made a bad choice of representation.  Davidson formerly dealt with Daniels and McDougal, then Bechard.  There are some questions in the first two cases whether he was actually representing the clients or collaborating with Cohen.  McDougal has accused him of doing the latter.
