Stormy Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti said Tuesday that President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen received $500,000 in the months after the 2016 election from a company run by a Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Avenatti said that the funding may have been used to reimburse the $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to stay quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani revealed last week that Trump had reimbursed Cohen $130,000, which was given to Daniels just weeks before the 2016 election. Cohen had earlier claimed that the non-disclosure payment came from his own funds, and Trump had told he was unaware it had been been made.
Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s personal legal team, has said that Trump only recently learned of the payment to Daniels, and he has not ruled out the possibility that Cohen made payments to other women on Trump's behalf.

All interesting, but how does an attorney for a porn star, interested in primarily getting her out of an NDA, get this level of detail about the financial records of an attorney (with attorney/client privilege), in a matter of only a few weeks???
How many degrees of separation is separation?
Well, aside from the fact that nobody except Trump’s wife (with whom he has obviously worked it out) cares if Trump had a one-night stand with this bimbo, and Trump was actually much nicer to this paid “escort” than Bill Clinton was to the star-struck interns and secretaries he raped...yes, I’d say this is just DNC business as usual.
Like any person looking to find info. Ya hire investigators, pay leaks, look for info, etc. Some or all could be false. But, money and resources can get stuff.
The big question is who leaked that data to him.
Trump could not have been successful in NYC real estate without friends in low places.
Markers may be called. This could get very interesting.
What/what was this?
Avenatti is lying again. It’s what he does.
Putin kills people like the “Stormy Lawyer” in order to advance the the interest of the Russian people and NEUTRALIZE domestic enemies.
Trump has like 3 weeks left to take matters in hand or be destroyed himself.
TIMES UP.
This guy better be right, because otherwise Cohen could sue his arse off
This MF is on borrowed time.
Coup participants will be dealt with.
I guess you and SD’s lawyer are now setting the agenda?
Rusha! Rusha! Rusha!
You think Schneiderman & Co. or the Andrew Weissmans of the SC didn't ground loop their desk chairs helping out Avenatti? The deep state will break all the eggs necessary to make the omelet. Unfortunately, if they succeed, all of us here are also going to pay the price.
OF COURSE!! Man, I guess you missed her film, “The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!!”
It’s safe to assume they all are lying! They are all after Trump like I’ve never seen in my life, nor could imagine!! And these people lie like there is no tomorrow.. so just assume they are all lying... it’s worked in the past to get others... so they try it on Trump...
BUT...
we are sick of the attacks.. they are old and worn out
It makes NO difference what they say .. Trump is doing a bang up job in spite of all their hate... I like him.. no one else could do what he has done in the midst of all they’ve thrown at him.
It’s all nonsense, listing things like a $700 check from a tax consulting company. Yes, 700 dollars. It’s gibberish.
The Stripper and the Donkey show continues.
Discreet, that Cohen.
