Nonilex<p>Keith Davidson says that he understood the reason the deal may have been held up because of “frugality.” “Whose frugality?” Steinglass asked, prompting another objection &amp; yet another sidebar.</p><p>Davidson is reading his texts w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DylanHoward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DylanHoward</span></a> aloud. One of them joked about hiring a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> impersonator who had more money than Trump. Pressed on what that meant, Davidson says he took it to mean that Trump was not as wealthy as he claimed.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TrumpTrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTrial</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ElectionInterference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectionInterference</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/HushMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HushMoney</span></a></p>

Pressed further by the prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, he added that he understood that getting McDougal a deal would help Trump’s candidacy.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TrumpTrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTrial</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a></p>
