Lanny Davis long ago established himself as the go-to operative in Washington when you\u2019re in the middle of a PR crisis.<\/p>\n
He was famously the public face defending Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998. But today, 25 years later, he\u2019s on the other side of a presidential sex scandal representing Michael Cohen, Donald Trump\u2019s longtime lawyer and self-described \u201cfixer,\u201d who went to jail for a number of offenses, including his role in paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her not telling the media her account of an alleged affair with Trump.<\/p>\n
Cohen is now a central witness in the Manhattan DA\u2019s case against Trump, one that could send the former president to jail. It\u2019s a case that has died and been resurrected so many times that prosecutors have nicknamed it the \u201czombie\u201d case. And a major obstacle that prosecutors face is whether or not jurors will believe that Cohen, who lied for Trump for over a decade, is telling the truth.<\/p>\n
On this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza catches up with Davis at his office in Washington, D.C., to hear the story of how the Trump \u201czombie\u201d case came back from the dead and why he insists jurors should believe his client.<\/p>\n
