"President Trump admitted Thursday to reimbursing his lawyer for a $130,000 payment made on the eve of the 2016 election to porn actress Stormy Daniels as part of a settlement about her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.
Trump, however, denied any sexual encounter and claims the payment was in no way connected with the campaign — despite the timing." -NPR
Sure it was. Just like Bill Clinton never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.
'WASHINGTON — President Trump’s new legal team made a chaotic debut as Rudolph W. Giuliani, who was tapped recently to be one of the president’s lawyers, potentially exposed his client to legal and political danger by publicly revealing the existence of secret payments to Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer.
After he moved into the White House, the president began paying Mr. Cohen $35,000 a month, Mr. Giuliani said, in part as reimbursement for a $130,000 payment that Mr. Cohen made to a pornographic film actress to keep her from going public about an affair she said she had with Mr. Trump. The president confirmed he made payments to Mr. Cohen in a series of Twitter posts on Thursday morning.' - THE NY TIMES
I wonder if the FEC will be so understanding when it reviews Trump's payment to Stormy Daniels coincidentally occurring weeks before the presidential election. Trump and Giuliani's crack legal team think emphasizing the hush money was 'funneled' through a law firm will exonerate Trump from federal election laws.
I also want to know where I can get a $130,000 check for not having sex. Giuliani made it sound that it is a commonplace law practice to take care of these little details without bothering his clients with the facts. In that case, I have never had sex with Trump (wink, wink).
