Trump fell asleep in court again.
Eric Trump showed up in court today to support his dad. Trump's most loyal offspring became the first family member to attend the trial since it began, with his wife Melania still nowhere to be found either near the trial or at Mar-a-Lago. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was also in attendance, who was impeached for having a target of a criminal investigation provide a job for his mistress and pay for a home remodel.

Davidson said he then set up a meeting at his office on June 20, 2016, where he and Karen McDougal met with Howard to give him some of the details on her relationship with Trump. He described the meeting as "sort of a proffer session" where he would provide some of the story to Howard as a teaser while he was deciding whether to purchase exclusive rights to it. Howard said he would go back to New York and talk to David Pecker about purchasing the story.
Davidson said that McDougal told Howard that she had a romantic and sexual affair with Trump for several months that took place years prior. He admitted that he later sent a text message to Howard that McDougal is "being cornered by the estrogen mafia." When asked what he meant by that, he said that several women were leaning on her to sell the story to ABC to ensure that it got out to the entire country rather than handing it over to the Enquirer who would later suppress it. Davidson said he was playing ABC and AMI off of each other in order to negotiate a better deal.
Howard told Davidson that they would have an offer for the story in a few days and that it would be better than anyone else's because it would include a component where McDougal could begin a new career as a writer for their magazines. He said that they thought this would appeal to her over a straight money offer from ABC because then she wouldn't come off as a woman scorned just selling her story for money.
Davidson said he joked with Howard that maybe they could make the deal even sweeter by making McDougal an Ambassador. When asked what he meant by that, Davidson said that if she helped Trump win the election then maybe he would give her a job in the federal government. Howard responded by assuring them that McDougal would get a better offer from them than ABC.
