I'm Ben Myselis from the Midas Touch Network, so Stormy Daniels new lawyer Clark Brewster has told CNN that Joe Takapina,

0:42.0

the lawyer who's basically made a fool of himself, purportedly representing Donald Trump in connection with the Manhattan District Attorney's office,

0:52.0

a criminal investigation of Donald Trump, did in fact have communications with Stormy Daniels dating back to 2018,

1:00.0

which Stormy Daniels new lawyer Clark Brewster has turned over to the Manhattan prosecutors office.

1:06.0

We previously discussed this here on the Midas Touch Network that Joe Takapina on a CNN appearance in 2018 when he was asked about Stormy Daniels.

2:40.0

I want to show you the clip right now of Joe Takapina on the CNN interview back from 2018 where Takapina admits that Takapina says,

2:49.0

look, I can't get into this information because I had a consultation with Stormy Daniels, so I have to keep it confidential here, play this clip.

2:59.0

So before being represented by having any Stormy approached you about representation, did you get any impression that she may assign the NDA under duress,

3:08.0

and was she afraid of her physical safety?

3:10.0
