During the ongoing trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented an email response from Keith Davidson to the Wall Street Journal in January 2018. In the email, Davidson expressed that there was nothing in the current rumors that would make him reconsider the denial issued back in 2011 regarding Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump.
Following his communication with the WSJ reporter, Davidson forwarded the email thread to Michael Cohen to update him on how he had addressed the story. Davidson explained that the reason for sharing the email with Cohen was due to a 'mutuality of interest' during that period. He highlighted that they had a fully executed settlement agreement and confidentiality agreement in place, which was the focal point of the story.
