In the ongoing trial surrounding the hush money payments made during former President Donald Trump's tenure, prosecutors have called on Keith Davidson, a former attorney for both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, to testify. Davidson's involvement in the case revolves around his alleged receipt of payment for Stormy Daniels from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen.

The trial, which resumed on Tuesday, has been full of revelations, with each witness shedding light on the details of the scheme. As part of the prosecution's case, Davidson's testimony is expected to provide crucial insights into the nature and process of the hush money payments.

The hush money scandal emerged during Trump's presidency and involved payments made to Daniels, a porn star, and McDougal, a Playboy model. The payments were allegedly made to silence them about their alleged affairs with Trump.

Davidson's role in the proceedings stems from his representation of both Daniels and McDougal in negotiations regarding the payments. As the former attorney for these two women, Davidson is believed to have played a significant role in facilitating the alleged payments. His testimony is expected to provide further evidence of the orchestrated efforts to keep the alleged affairs under wraps, and to establish a motive for silencing Daniels.

The prosecution, seeking to authenticate records and build a strong case, has called on several witnesses in recent days. Notably, David Pecker, Trump's former tabloid publisher and a key figure in the scandal, testified and reportedly "set the course" for the trial.

Meanwhile, the defense's efforts to undercut the prosecution's strong witnesses have fallen short thus far. The trial has seen Trump himself fined $9,000 for violating gag orders on multiple occasions.

Despite the high-profile nature of the trial, no significant protests have taken place outside the courthouse. Trump, known for his vocal online presence, had made pleas for support in all-caps messages, but those calls have failed to attract crowds.

As the trial continues, many are closely watching how each witness's testimony unfolds, hoping for a clearer understanding of the extent of Trump's involvement in the hush money payments. The trial is seen by some as a crucial test for the former president, who has referred to it as "election interference." However, critics argue that Trump's days off on the golf course stand in stark contrast to his claims of being overwhelmed by the court proceedings.

With Keith Davidson now taking the stand, the hush money trial is sure to delve deeper into the intricate web of payments and arrangements that allegedly aimed to keep damaging information about Trump under wraps.
