davidson found himself negotiating directly with michael cohen. the two men struck a deal. daniels would get $130,000 for her story. davidson testified, "it was my understanding that mr. trump was the beneficiary of this contract." but the payment kept getting delayed. davidson saying cohen told him, “what do you expect me to do? my guy is in five states a day. i'm doing everything i can.” but davidson was convinced they were “trying to kick the can down the road until after the election." ultimately cohen told him "god damnit, i'll just do it myself”" and paid the porn star out of his own pocket. prosecutors say when trump later reimbursed cohen, he illegally falsified dox yooments to make it all look like a legal expense. trump almost egging on the judge today, calling him rigged, crooked, and conflicted, but the judge made clear if these violations of the gag order
