Attorney Keith Davidson is currently testifying in Donald Trump's hush money trial, shedding light on his involvement in the hush money agreements with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Davidson played a key role in negotiating deals to keep Daniels and McDougal quiet about their alleged encounters with Trump.

In a 2018 interview, Davidson revealed that he had multiple discussions with Michael Cohen regarding the two women. He recalled contacting Cohen in late summer 2016 to notify him about settling a case with McDougal. McDougal had sold the rights to her story to American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, for $150,000 plus additional benefits. Davidson described informing Cohen of the agreement as a professional courtesy.

David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, also testified about his interactions with Davidson during the negotiation of the payments. Pecker's testimony provided further insight into the communication and collaboration between the parties involved in the hush money agreements.

The ongoing trial is bringing to light the intricate details of the hush money scandal that has been a subject of controversy surrounding Trump's presidency. As Davidson continues to provide testimony, more information is expected to emerge regarding the extent of his involvement and the dynamics of the agreements made to silence Daniels and McDougal.
