Trump Says Money For His Lawyer Cohen ‘Not From The Campaign’ (Video)

May 3, 2018

Donald Trump’s new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has admitted the President repaid attorney Michael Cohen $130,000 used to keep Stormy Daniels quiet.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday his lawyer Michael Cohen did not use presidential campaign funds to pay Stormy Daniels as part of a contract he said was aimed at stopping the adult-film star from making “false and extortionist accusations” about an affair.

“Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll (sic) in this transaction,” Trump wrote in one of a series of posts on Twitter early on Thursday.

His comments come after former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who joined Trump’s legal team last month, said on Wednesday Trump had reimbursed Cohen the $130,000 that was given to Daniels to buy her silence about an alleged affair with the president.
