Keith Davidson, Stormy Daniels' former lawyer, testified on Thursday at Donald Trump's hush money trial about the $130,000 hush money payment he negotiated. Trump's defense portrayed him as a shake-down artist. Jurors also heard about a rant from Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen, and a recorded conversation between Cohen and Trump regarding a separate hush money payment to Karen McDougal. Davidson faced aggressive cross-examination from Trump's attorney, who questioned his legal career and involvement in various celebrity cases.
