Stormy Daniels' lawyer testifies it was his 'understanding' that she did have sex with Donald Trump
By Ben Kochman
Stormy Daniels' lawyer testified Thursday that it was his "understanding" that the porn star had in fact had sex with Donald Trump when she signed a letter denying the tryst — that was written by the attorney — in January 2018.
“Did you understand at the time that you wrote this letter that Stormy Daniels had in fact had a sexual encounter with Donald Trump at some point?" prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Daniels' lawyer Keith Davidson.
“That was my understanding,” Davidson replied.
Trump, who has denied ever having sex with the adult film actress, sat silently at the defense table during Davidson's testimony.
Davidson also claimed that the $130,000 that Daniels received to buy her silence about the alleged one-night-stand "wasn’t a payoff, and it wasn’t hush money."
He prefers to describe the arrangement as a "consideration," he testified.
