Less than two weeks before Election Day 2016, a Beverly Hills lawyer's two-word text message confirmed a transaction that Manhattan prosecutors say might have saved the candidacy of Donald J. Trump. Funds received, it read. The message was sent by Keith Davidson, who in 2016 represented Stormy Daniels, a porn star who had threatened to go public with a damaging story about Mr. Trump shortly before that year's presidential election.
A defense lawyer accused Mr. Davidson, the lawyer representing Stormy Daniels in 2016, of being a serial extortionist who had targeted other celebrities like Tila Tequila and Charlie Sheen. Mr. Davidson responded that he ensured his activities were lawful.
