The lawyer, Keith M. Davidson, who cut deals for adult-film star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal to bury their allegations of sexual affairs with President Donald Trump in exchange of payouts has reportedly said that the "whole truth" about the scandal is not out yet.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, and President Trump had an alleged affair, shortly after the First Lady gave birth to his youngest son Barron Trump, according to reports. The speculations of the affair between the president and the adult-film star were rife after the Wall Street Journal, on January 12, reported that one of Trump's lawyers, Cohen, had arranged a $130,000 payment for Daniels to remain silent about the alleged affair.

A former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, also recently claimed to have had a sexual affair with President Trump and was given a six-figure pay out to remain silent about their affair, according to reports.

Both the women have filed lawsuits against Trump, seeking to be released from the non-disclosure agreements they signed. Davidson, in an exclusive interview with CNN, said that he believes his clients — Daniels and McDougal —claims about their affair with Trump are true, however, the details about their payment deals and his role in the negotiating process have not yet been disclosed completely.

The attorney said that Trump's lawyer, Cohen, recently contacted him to spur him to go out and reveal whatever he knew about his clients and their agreements. Davidson added that Cohen told him that both women had already waived their attorney-client privilege by making their non-disclosure deals public. "He suggested that it would be appropriate for me to go out into the media and spill my guts," Davidson said. 

President Trump and the White House have denied all the allegations made by Daniels and McDougal.

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah, during a press briefing last week, said: "The president strongly clearly and consistently has denied these underlying claims. The only one who has been inconsistent is the one making the claims. False charges are settled out of court all the time.”

"I read each of the ladies' complaints and pleadings. ...The recitation of the facts that are contained within those pleadings I do not agree with, and I look forward to an opportunity in an appropriate forum to discuss them," Davidson said. The attorney, however, added that legal ethics have barred him from discussing their cases.
