(CNN)The attorney who represented a porn star and Playboy model in deals that buried their allegations of sexual encounters with Donald Trump in exchange for six-figure payouts said the "whole truth" about the now-public scandal has not been told.
In exclusive interviews with CNN, attorney Keith M. Davidson said he believes his clients Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal were telling the truth about their relationships with Trump, but that details surrounding their deals and his role in negotiating them have not fully been disclosed.
Davidson said he was contacted in recent weeks by Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, who encouraged him to go out and reveal what he knew about his clients and their agreements. He said Cohen argued that the women had waived attorney-client privilege by going public with their stories.
"He suggested that it would be appropriate for me to go out into the media and spill my guts," Davidson said.
Trump has denied relationships with both Daniels and McDougal.
Davidson said he consulted with an ethics attorney who disagreed with Cohen's assessment. As a result, he said he still feels ethically bound not to disclose details about his conversations with Daniels and McDougal, or provide information about his work on their behalf. But he defended himself against allegations leveled by his former clients that he didn't look out for their best interests. McDougal even accused him in court documents of colluding with Trump's associates while pretending to represent her.
