During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented a side agreement to Keith Davidson, revealing Donald Trump's real name instead of the pseudonym, David Dennison, used in the original agreement. Davidson confirmed that Trump's name in the document was written in his own handwriting.
The side agreement stipulated that neither party was allowed to retain a copy of the document. It was specified that only Davidson and Michael Cohen, acting as counsel for the parties, would hold possession of the agreement.
Davidson described the side letter agreement as a tool to decipher the original agreement, which utilized pseudonyms to refer to the involved parties.
