Stormy Daniels denies berating attorney as jurors hear juicy taped call with Michael Cohen
A recording of a juicy phone conversation capturing Stormy Daniels’ attorney claiming his porn star client had berated him and wanted money “more than anything” was played for jurors at Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial Thursday.
Lawyer Keith Davidson was heard telling Michael Cohen that Daniels “wanted this money more than you can ever imagine,” as he put pressure on Trump’s former “fixer” to pay her in exchange for keeping quiet about her story she’d had a tryst with the ex-president.
“I remember hearing her on the phone saying, ‘You — f–king Keith Davidson — you better settle this goddamn story,’ ” Davidson could be heard telling Cohen on the expletive-laden recording.
The taped April 4, 2018, phone call between the attorneys featured multiple expletives, with Davidson claiming that Daniels was yelling and screaming at him while calling him a “p—y,” all to put pressure on him for a good deal.
He added that Daniels allegedly said that if Trump lost the election, “we lose all f–king leverage” and “this case is worth zero.”
Daniels — born Stephanie Clifford — denied Davidson’s claims as she testified against Trump for the second day in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“No I did not, actually, I never yelled at Keith Davidson,” she said during questioning by Trump’s attorneys. “It sounds like a threat from Keith Davidson.”
She also told jurors that she didn’t care about money, but rather just wanted “to get the truth out,” about her alleged extramarital affair with Trump.
