Daniels's momentum has been building for some time — toward possibly ensnaring Trump and allowing Daniels to tell her tale. If the Daniels payment was geared toward affecting the election and was covered up, it opens Trump up to legal jeopardy. The McDougal case is the least-developed of all, and thus far it hasn't gotten nearly as close to Trump. All three of these cases contain many unanswered questions, but they also clearly have motivated women behind them now. The White House and Trump allies have tried to keep the women quiet using various methods, but none of them seem to be going away anytime soon.
