There was a thread last night it covered this thoroughly. President Trump has a fund set up for his lawyers to pay legal expenses he does not know where every penny goes. The lawyer draws the money out and it’s paid out therefore Trump has paid the lawyer back. Which means that the lawyer didn’t make an ill legal campaign contribution because his money was refunded. There are a lot of people on this website that need to think for themselves as Kanye West said.
I was immediately struck by the conclusion that Trump lied. He hasn’t been shown to be a big liar, but this was immediate conclusion Cohen was the fixer who would take care of anything embarrassing to Trump. He paid Stormy off out of personal funds and drew up a NDA that Trump never signed. No evidence Trump slept with her. No evidence he knew about the NDA. Press question - did you know? No would be a truthful statement.
