"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said Wednesday that*President Trump*reimbursed his personal attorney Michael Cohen the $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about their alleged affair."

Oh, FFS. This president cannot go two hours without lying and screwing up something else. Mueller is going to roast him like a pig. What I wonder is how this works with the unsure timing of the Cohen case in SDNY.

You'd think Trump and his "legal team" would spend at least a couple of minutes to get their stories' straight. Good grief.

I posted somewhere that the president probably would have gotten through the Mueller investigation with no charges and very few problems if he could just stop talking and tweeting. He has caused every single one of his "witch hunt" problems himself.

They'll be here to defend his lies, say something about TDS, and call Daniels a ho any minute.

Giuliani: Trump repaid Cohen $130K for payment to porn star

Yahoo News: [FONT=&quot]Giuliani: Trump repaid Cohen $130K for payment to porn star[/FONT]


WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump's new lawyer Rudy Giuliani says the president repaid attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump had told reporters that he was not aware of the payment and that he didn't know where Cohen had gotten the money.

On Air Force One, Trump had previously said (April 5) he had no idea about the payment to Stormy Daniels. Now, Giuliani contradicted that statement and admitted Trump paid Daniels.

This is clearly a ploy to try to skirt the charge that Cohen made an illegal campaign contribution. If Trump repaid Cohen, then it's not a campaign contribution. However, if Trump reimbursed Cohen in multiple sums less than $10K, in order to avoid detection, that's also a federal law violation.

Looks like people are deep in do-do.

Yeah, go figure, huh? When they gave him his nametag and showed him his desk in January 2017, did anyone tell the moron that he would always be video and voice recorded every time the press was around him?
 
Avenatti said he was speechless when 45 said he reimbursed Cohen. Rudi said Cohen always handled these things for 45. The payment was funneled through a law firm. It shows that 45 tried to tried to avoid a scandal and is indeed a campaign finance violation. And...he denied knowing that the $130,000 was paid to Ms. Daniels.

Thanks, Rudi. Love, Stephanie and Michael

No the Conservaturds will say they knew he was lying all the time. But just once I want to watch the news without this oranged face comb over turd doing something. It is like we are stuck in the longest episode of the apprentice. As far as his supporters.....they can all shut the hell up as far as I am concerned. They are the deplorables....Hillary is right

Better to be caught in a lie than caught lying while under oath.
Trump lied. Where is the crime?

Where is the campaign finance violation? If it is true that Giuliani said Trump reimbursed Cohen with his own money, where is the crime?

Um, no. Apples to oranges.
Guiliani said Trump reimbursed Cohen with his own personal funds.

A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted Edwards in 2011 on six felony charges of violating multiple federal campaign contribution laws to cover up an extramarital affair.
Edwards was found not guilty on one count, and the judge declared a mistrial on the remaining five charges, as the jury was unable to come to an agreement. The Justice Department dropped the remaining charges and did not attempt to retry Edwards

wasn't bill clinton screwing interns in the Oval Office? didn't he lie about it? didn't all the liberals continue to defend him to a man?

What nasty things have you to say about his "supporters"? Or are you just another giant hypocrite who pretends he's got a shred of moral ground to stand on? Please mr. judge, rule on yourself. Then I'll listen to you whine about Trump supporters like a teenage girl. Ok?
 
Re: Giuliani: Trump repaid Cohen $130K for payment to porn star

I m sure Press Secy Sanders will come up with a nonsense defense of this.
 
This payment was made to hide the affair from the public. An attempt to influence the election and hide the payments by structuring the payment and circumvent FEC rules.

We'll have to see about that.

Too bad a sitting president cannot be prosecuted for criminal acts while in office.

Well, it's all very curious to me. There's the criminal referral to SDNY followed by the FBI raid and the start of preliminary proceedings. During that time, Cohen and the president both said that the president never knew that Daniels was paid. The president used a fake name on the NDA that he never signed. Cohen said he paid the NDA consideration out of his personal funds. The president again claimed he never knew anything.

Then the civil suit in CA gets stayed for ninety days so the SDNY case can proceed. Just days later, one of the president's new lawyers gets on Fox News and changes every single aspect of both Cohen's and the president's stories.

I'm usually pretty good at finding the common thread, but this entire presidency is such a cluster that I just can't figure out this bit. Presumably the president violated campaign finance laws by accepting an "in kind" donation from Cohen under the original circumstances. So perhaps they've fixed that problem by saying that the president in fact repaid the Daniels money via Cohen's firm. But now we have lots more questions, don't we? Did the president pay Cohen when Cohen paid Daniels days before the election? If he did, why did they both lie? If he didn't, when did he? Was it still a campaign finance crime? Most importantly, what can we even believe anymore? Surely nothing that the president says, ever, nor anyone associated with him. It's just a jaw dropping disaster.
