3. They are unrelated to the Daniels case

There is no dispute in the Daniels civil action that Daniels got paid. Where the money came from or how it got there is not relevant to her case.

By phrasing the question as "helping or hurting" her case, they are missing the point.

Tangentially, souring Cohen's appetite to enforce the arbitration award helps the Daniels case to the extent that Cohen would be encouraged to agree to rescind the contract and be done with it.

But since the contract case is on hold, and the NY defamation case won't be served for a while, there is literally nothing to do in either of Daniels' civil actions.
