Stormy Daniels, whose hush-money payment is at the center of the ongoing Manhattan investigation into former President Donald Trump, handed over communications between her and Trump’s lawyer to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office on Wednesday, according to CNN. The communications between her and Joe Tacopina are said to date back to 2018, when Daniels was seeking legal representation.
