Then you are mistaken. Cohen has asserted that Trump had no knowledge of the payment, which was made through a shell corporation.
Ah yes, that was the “scheme” referred to.
And since Cohen worked for PDJT he must have had Trump’s blessing to do whatever.
Do whatever it takes just don’t tell me...
In political circles this is known as “plausible deniability”?
So Cohen was paying her with Trumps money, and without his knowledge, just for the hell of it?
