Undated:  On April 13, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that [Elliott] Broidy had a sexual relationship with Playboy Playmate Shera Bechard, resulting in a pregnancy in late 2017.[39][40] The model later had an abortion. Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen negotiated for Broidy to pay $1.6 million for the woman's silence. The settlement was falsely characterized at the time as a personal injury settlement.[41][42] In response to the Journal article, Broidy issued a statement acknowledging that he had had a "consensual relationship with a Playboy Playmate", that Cohen had contacted him after being approached by the woman's attorney, Keith M. Davidson, and that Broidy had then hired Cohen to work out a non-disclosure agreement.[43] Broidy resigned his post at the RNC the same day the article appeared.[44] A few days later Cohen confirmed in court that Broidy was one of the three clients he had given legal advice to in the previous year.[45] Some columnists have since speculated that Donald Trump was really the person who had the affair with Bechard.[46][47][48] Broidy's lawyer, Chris Clark, stated that Broidy will withhold forthcoming payments to Bechard due to an alleged breach of the non-disclosure agreement on her part.[49] On July 6, 2018, Bechard filed a lawsuit against Broidy and the attorney Michael Avenatti, in relation to the cessation of the settlement payments.[50][51][52] Bechard has alleged in a complaint that Broidy was physically, sexually, and emotionally abusive of her, and that he exposed her to herpes.[53][54] Broidy has denied the allegations.[54] On September 7, 2018, California Superior Court Judge Elizabeth White granted Broidy’s request to strike allegations from the case going forward that were not relevant to the breach-of-contract dispute.[55]

May 22: Who Did Playboy Model Shera Bechard Really Have an Affair With?

You may recall that a few weeks ago a judge ordered Trump lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen to reveal all his clients. It turned out he had only three: Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and … Elliott Broidy. What’s more, he only represented Broidy on one thing: a hush money payment to a Playboy model he had an affair with, some of which was used to pay for an abortion. When that was revealed, Broidy immediately confessed in a surprisingly workmanlike statement and that was that.

The whole thing seemed odd, leading Paul Campos to make the case that it was actually Donald Trump who had the affair, with Broidy taking the fall for him. Campos made a decent case, but it was purely speculative and quickly dropped out of sight.

... it sure seems a helluva lot more likely that Campos was right. It always seemed odd that Broidy had paid Shera Bechard $1.6 million for her silence, considering that an affair with a guy like Broidy was hardly front-page news. However, an affair with Trump would be front-page news, and this was right in the middle of Broidy’s big campaign to get Trump to help him out with the Qatar business. What better way to ingratiate yourself with Trump than to offer to cover this up for him?

Is this true? I’m not sure we’ll ever know. But it seems pretty plausible.

July 10: Playboy model Shera Bechard ordered to give Michael Avenatti sealed suit involving hush deal with GOP donor Elliott Broidy

A Los Angeles judge declined to overturn a 20-day sealing order of Playboy model Shera Bechard’s complaint against GOP donor Elliott Broidy Tuesday but ordered the defendants, including Michael Avenatti, receive immediate, unredacted copies.

Bechard filed the complaint under seal just days after Broidy’s reported decision to halt his $200,000 installment payments on their privacy pact.

A source told the Daily News that Bechard named Avenatti as a co-defendant because he posted a Twitter message April 12 that described her confidential deal with Broidy. A day later, the Wall Street Journal confirmed the hush-money deal in a blockbuster story.

July 13: Did Elliott Broidy really take the fall for Donald Trump? Here’s some new evidence.

In 2016, [a PI] was hired to trail Broidy and surveil the businessman. His customer was a Broidy associate to whom Broidy owed money. The investigator spent several months on this case, looking to document Broidy’s lifestyle and spending patterns. He tells me that his big discovery was that Broidy was mostly a homebody who spent much of his time either at his office or his house.

But there was one other address Broidy visited regularly: an apartment building in Beverly Hills, where he seemed to have a girlfriend. The PI says he never got the name of the apparent gal pal ... [however a list of tenants] included Shera Bechard, the Playmate in the Broidy case. 

...  it does appear Broidy had a preexisting relationship with Bechard over a year before the $1.6 million settlement was reached. It’s possible Trump and Broidy each had an affair with her, although this piece of information does bolster Broidy’s account.

August 1: Playboy model who signed hush deal with GOP fundraiser says Cohen 'recruited' to fix problem, lawsuit says

A former Playboy model who claims to have had an affair and became pregnant by a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump claims the president's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was "recruited" in the case to act as a fixer.

The details of Shera Bechard's alleged affair with GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy and the hush agreement she says she signed to keep the affair private were made public Tuesday after a federal judge unsealed a lawsuit she had filed last month with her attorney Peter Stris.

The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles targets Broidy, her former attorney, Keith Davidson, and Michael Avenatti, an attorney representing Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who claims to have had an affair with Trump.

September 7: Elliott Broidy Seeks ‘Emergency Stay’ to Keep Playboy Model’s Salacious Suit from Going Public

The details of former Playboy Playmate Shera Bechard‘s lawsuit against Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy over a $1.6 million non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that Michael Cohen facilitated will surface Friday in all its lurid detail — or so we thought.

As Bloomberg reported earlier, a Los Angeles judge ordered the sealed complaint to be made public, but Broidy is now petitioning for an emergency stay, citing the irreparable harm such a release would cause.

Broidy, a major GOP donor with ties to the White House, had an affair with Bechard in 2017. He impregnated her and agreed to pay $1.6 million in installments as part of a confidentiality agreement.

The hush agreement was arranged by President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen
