This obscure lawyer pops up in every Trump sex scandal

"I'm sort of in the secret business."

JUDD LEGUM APR 13, 2018, 3:41 PM


On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney and self-styled “fixer,” negotiated a deal to pay $1.6 million to a Playboy Playmate in exchange for her silence about an affair she had with a major Trump fundraiser.

The rainmaker in question, Elliott Broidy, is a deputy finance chairman for the RNC who recently organized a fundraiser for Trump in Los Angeles, acknowledged the affair. Broidy said he impregnated the woman but that she decided to terminate the pregnancy.

Cohen had never represented Broidy previously. In a statement, Broidy said that he retained Cohen after Cohen was contacted by the woman’s attorney, Keith Davidson.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Davidson also represented two women who say they had affairs with Trump, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
