Trump/Cohen obtained an arbitration award for violating the NDA
Though I believe Cohen himself violated the NDA as he spoke up first about it, I am certain that is not why he (plus Trump) were recipients of "arbitration award"... You might also indicate that that "award" was in reference to a restraining order re: the NDA.
And while you may want to keep it simple, the fact that they got that "arbitration restraining order" without even notifying Daniels or her attorney, seems relevant.
