Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is suing Cohen and the president to void a nondisclosure agreement.
In a statement to NBC News following Cohen's plea, Clifford said she felt "Vindicated."
When U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III asked Cohen whether he knew what he was doing was illegal, Cohen said "Yes," according to NBC News.
Cohen's comments during his plea hearing mark a significant legal setback for the president, legal experts have said.
Mimi Rocah, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, said the disclosures from Cohen were "Huge."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC. Cohen came under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York City earlier this year after they received a referral from Mueller's investigators.
In April, prosecutors seized thousands of items from Cohen's New York office and hotel room, including the tape of Cohen and Trump discussing the payment to the former Playboy model, Karen McDougal.
