After denying he knew anything about the $130,000 that his personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels, Trump’s new legal eagle Rudy Giuliani announced on FOX Wednesday night that Trump not only knew about the payment but had already reimbursed Cohen.
Giuliani went on to say that the payment was “perfectly legal” and didn’t break any campaign finance laws because the cash was “funneled ” through a law firm. Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti said he was ‘stunned’ by Giuliani’s claim.
As the scandal continues to roil the White House, Giuliani insists that the payment to keep Daniel’s quiet was to save Trump’s marriage, not the campaign to be President.
This isn’t over yet. Stay tuned.
