The defense is now showing a statement that was released in January 2018, in which Daniels said that she did not have an affair with Trump. But Necheles did something clever, changing the wording to suggest she denied having sex with Trump — and Daniels agreed, not splitting hairs about the wording here.

I don’t know what the word change was but Necheles being “clever” is just euphemism for “sleazy”. You don’t deliberately change words.  But, it looks like Necheles got away with it. Neither the witness nor the prosecution caught it. Susan Necheles is the lawyer on the milk carton for sleazy.
