IANAL, but I think that if she accepted the $130K payment outlined in the contract, they had a valid contract even if it was unsigned.
Now, this might get a bit muddy if Michael Cohen is claiming that the $130K was just an unsolicited gift that had nothing at all to do with this contract, making the contract unsigned and unpaid.
Good point. Daniels doesn't actually need to talk to anyone about the relationship. The existence of the agreement effectively does that. If Cohen wanted to gift her "for no reason" then that's bizarre. If Cohen wanted to pay her off ... that's credible.
The only variable is whether or not the contract (why would there be an actual contract for this? Nevermind) outlines what it purports to stand for.
As per usual, the only people who will assign this incident to the president are the ones who care about character.
