davidson and remember why he's important.he has now done three different deals, all of which were worth more than $130,000 each deal. one was with $130,000 and the other one was $150,000. that was the mcdougal. we discovered the third deal that he was involved with when it comes to michael cohen and that was a deal made for eliot broidy who was a top gop donor. what's happening here if he talked about any of those cases and got into details of any of those cases with michael cohen and cohen has all that on tape, they have a plether of information of how those deals are done. they are important because you are going to hear michael cohen in his own words. you are going to hear keith davidson in his own words and it is unlikely they were just shooting a breeze. they are dealing with these very confidential cases that are surrounding the president. there is likely something in those conversations that the fbi is going to be honing in on for certain. >> all right, everybody, thank you very much. >> caroline and ryan lizzie, and s

davidson, keith davidson.represented stormy daniels, karen mcdougal who claims she had a month's long affair with donald trump and the unnamed woman involved in an alleged affair and abortion that took place with a gentleman named mr. broidy, an rnc fundraising vice chair. he represented all these women. is it your clint's contention that when he was representing her, he was representing her in a sense on behalf of donald trump? >> not yet. we don't have enough information to make that inference. our focus right now is not necessarily on mr. davidson, but our focus is on mr. cohen and mr. trump and their conduct as it relates to my client. their efforts to strong arm her, cover up the payment to her and intimidate her. that's our focus right now. >> to stay with us just for one moment, this fundraiser elliott broidy, seems that michael cohen also arranged payments for and arranged an nda which seemed to be very similar to the nda that ms. clifford signed, so similar that david denson, the fake name used for do

had actually taped his conversations with davidson.ased him not too much. so davidson is furious. he is cooperating. we don't know what's -- what's on those conversations. and these two lawyers worked together a couple of times that we know of and maybe more. you know, we don't know. >> the other thing is not only do we not know what michael cohen has -- i mean if i'm the president of the united states i'm not really sure -- i assume he is not sure what michael cohen has nor would the president's attorneys be sure what michael cohen has on their client. if anything. >> here is the big take away. if you have sleazy lawyers around you doing sleazy things, you might not want to run for president, because at some point it may turn out though sleazia lawyers doing sleazy things get caught up in sleazy controversies and get sleaze on you. the best you can say is that donald trump has horrible judgment in who he hangs around. almost one more thing. i don't think it's unreasonable that donald trump is upset about all of this. i mean just as a

davidson, the involvement of mr.nsaction had zero involvement, little to no involvement with mr. brodie, barely even knew him. >> you were not suggesting that it was really the president? >> just to be clear. what i'm suggesting is in my mind based on what i know there are serious questions as to whether it was on behalf of mr. broidy or somebody else. that's what i'm saying at this point. >> you predict that michael cohen is going to flip on president trump. the "national enquirer" is preparing for that possibility apparently. michael, we're looking at "national enquirer"'s cover here. what's your theory? >> i tweeted out the cover this morning. i think it's pretty clear what's going on here. the administration and mr. trump are preparing for michael cohen to flip, and what they want to do is they want to start a campaign now undercutting or undermining his credibility so when he does flip and he does turn state's evidence and he begins discussing all of the facts and the issues that that he's aware of that could ca

the same guy on both instances was involved on the other side of the deal, this guy named keith davidson to suspicion that there was a pattern, some sort of rigged system for these women coming forward where they thought they were getting legal representation but their lawyer was in cahoots with michael cohen to make sure the president got what he needed and the women didn't get much. both stormy daniels and karen mcdougal have sued to get out of these payment deals that were negotiated in part with this attorney, keith davidson, supposedly on their side. here's the story that just broke in "the washington post." keith davidson is cooperating with federal authorities who are investigating trump attorney michael cohen. davidson has been asked by prosecutors in the southern district of new york to provide electronic information according to his spokesman he has done so and will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent possible under the law. when lawyers have lawyers it's bad. when lawyers have lawyers who have spokesmen, go ahead and set yourself on fire. we'll be right back. insurance

now that's important because keith davidson was the lawyer who represented porn star stormy daniels andmer "playboy" playmate karen mcdougal who both claim anyway had affairs with donald trump. the white house repeatedly denied the affairs happened. here's this, both women were paid and signed agreements that effectively silenced them about their alleged affairs with trump within weeks of the 2016 presidential election. cohen, the president's personal attorney, is under scrutiny in part for his role in seeking to suppress the alleged affair and payoff to stormy daniels. cohen has also been accused in squashing mcdougal's alleged affair with trump, which she sold to the parent company of "the enquirer." the publication never published her story but denies cohen or president trump had anything to do with its being killed before the election. it could shed light on the inner working of deals that we now know that michael cohen and davidson both worked on. it could prove valuable to the government's criminal investigation of michael cohen. we also know, frederica, the warrant for the raids

i think it has keith davidson's fingerprints all over it.hat's going to be the next guy to go down in this investigation. there is -- prosecutors don't believe in coincidences. the fact that keith davidson was a lawyer for all of these women in the hush money agreements on the other side with michael cohen, that's not a coincidence. i think that's where it is going next. >> the media, what does law enforcement do with this sketch? a sketch, detailed sketch, one that is seven years -- from memory seven years ago and they're putting it out in the public. >> right. this is not a law enforcement sketch, just to be clear. so avenatti and stormy daniels took this on themselves. now, it is not to say that, you know, state investigators and, you know, las vegas, nevada, if you will, would be interested in this. this isn't a federal issue. this is more of a state criminal issue. >> that's interesting. what else now? >> i think you bringing up keith davidson is really, really key. i remember this is the lawyer who is involved in both the stormy daniel
