Performer has just gotten even weirder. no, its not the one youre thinking of. back in april the "wall street journal" reported that this guy, elliott broidy, who was at the time the deputy finance chair of the rnc, had agreed in late 2017 to pay $1.6 million, not a small amount of money, to a former "playboy" playmate named shera bechard. in a statement broidy said, "i acknowledge i had a consensual relationship way playboy playmate. at the end of our relationship this woman shared with me she ...

Template in both agreements. also, both women happen to have been represented by the same lawyer, akeith davidson, which is also extremely weird. similarities prompted investigation of whats going on here. now theres a new twist. the "wall street journal" reported yesterday that broidy has decided to stop the hush money payments after only two of a promised eight installments of $200,000 each. joining me now to explain what is going on with broidy is the co-author of that story, "wall street jou...

Claims that she was harassed and black s. mailed by donald trump. court papers, when we did some research on her, described her as a vexatious litigant who has been bombarding the federal courts with a number of different filings and lawsuits. so right now its kind of difficult to tell if this is -- if this will be of any help, or what prosecutors are interested in at this point. >> so two things. one, just to be clear, the $62,500 that was a wire transfer, we think that comes from broidy in to ...

Agreement. they also dealt with each other on the karen mcdougal agreement. she was the playmate who had a $150,000 hush payment from the parent of the "national enquirer" that was both in 2016. so when bechard came to davidson, he called cohen because he knew cohen might know broidy and cohen was like yeah, i know him. and as we reported, cohen called up broidy and said hey, its your lucky day, you have a big problem, theres a former playmate who says got her pregnant and i can help you fix it....

What prosecutors are interested in at this point. >> so two things. one, just to be clear, the $62,500 that was a wire transfer, we think that comes from broidy in to cohen as payment to cohen or as part of the arrangement for him to then transfer it to shir beshar, the woman who allegedly broidy had an affair with? >> yeah, the latter would be correct. and thats essentially what we think. we havent been able to get an answer to that question of course but it does seem to fit in with that narrat...

Was pregnant. she alone decided that she did not want to continue with the pregnancy and i offered her financial help during this difficult period." more on that stage stramt in a moment. broidy stepped down from his post at the rnc. the story did not go way in large part because there are some striking similarities between the story of elliott broidy the hush money agreement with the playboy playmate in his own words and donald trumps agreement with the former adult actress stormy daniels. espe...

Cohen was paid $250,000. and you were asking an earlier guest about the $62,500 payment. that was a quarter of cohens fee that went to him. the $200,000 payment were eight installments that were paid to bechard. >> so hes now cutting off smera bechard has gotten a new lawyer. keith davidson has been sued by one of his former clients in stormy daniels for his representation. presumably -- maybe shera bechard will just walk away from $1.2 million but that seems unlikely. it seems likely were going...

Theres no one, not one bit of information that weve found that would suggest that anyone other than elliott broidy was involved in this relationship. >> do you have a good theory for michael cohens involvement in this? i guess were they just -- knew each other from both being deputy finance chairs of the rnc and hes like hey, i i have a playboy playmate situation i need your help with? >> davidson and cohen had worked together on the stormy daniels agreement. they also dealt with each other on t...

Presumably -- maybe shera bechard will just walk away from $1.2 million but that seems unlikely. it seems likely were going to see this and also ending up in court very soon. >> unless they say they negotiated some kind of a settlement and if they doesnt think she has a good chase maybe she and broidy could settle for half of it, $600,000. just pure speculation. but its quite likely this will end up in court. >> i will say you mentioned stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, two other people who had...
