Two more celebrities have just been named — Tila Tequila, a reality television star, and the actor Charlie Sheen. Emil Bove accuses Keith Davidson of essentially extorting Sheen. The jurors are glued to this.

Bove is successfully digging up unsavory episodes from Keith Davidson’s past to cast him as shady. For example, Bove says a former of client of his leaked information that the Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan was in rehab.

Bove, the defense lawyer, is going in a sharp direction with Keith Davidson. He recalls him saying Michael Cohen could be “aggressive,” saying, “And you can be aggressive too, can’t you?” “I suppose,” Davidson all but mumbled.

Bove tries to create distance between the hush-money deals and Trump, his client. If the prosecution tried to cast him as the silent boss overseeing Cohen, the defense is rowing the boat away from Trump as fast as they can.

Keith Davidson testified that Michael Cohen threatened a lawsuit against Stormy Daniels “many times.” He can be a "very aggressive guy," Davidson said.

Keith Davidson is being asked about texts with Michael Cohen referencing the State of the Union address that Trump was going to deliver. It underscores that some of this was happening as Trump was running the country.
