Top GOP Fundraiser - Elliott Broidy, to Stop Hush Payments to Playboy centerfold

A top Republican fundraiser will stop making payments to a former mistress who signed a hush-money agreement that was negotiated last year by Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer.

Elliott Broidy, a Los Angeles venture capitalist and former Republican National Committee official, agreed to pay former Playboy centerfold Shera Bechard $1.6 million — in eight installments, beginning late last year — to keep quiet about her affair with the married donor, The Wall Street Journal reported in April.

Now Broidy, who worked on the RNC with Cohen, will withhold the third installment of $200,000 that was due Sunday, in response to an alleged breach of the nondisclosure agreement, according to Chris Clark, a lawyer for Broidy.

Clark said Bechard’s lawyer at the time of the agreement, Keith Davidson, improperly discussed the hush-money agreement with another lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who has replaced Davidson in representing Stephanie Clifford, a former adult-film star. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels, got a $130,000 payment arranged by Cohen to keep quiet about what she said was a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.

republicans need to abandon their degenerate "values" - repent - and embrace real American values like honesty, integrity, fairness, basic human decency, and loyalty to America instead of to lowlife russian moneybuck bagmen.
