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.

Thanks for posting the form.
Yeah, thanks for posting illegally obtained documents-—or Forged documents.
The accusation by HER lawyer is that Trumps lawyer was paid by them for something.
On April 9, with the Trump-nominated District Attorney for the Southern District of New York safely recused, Mueller and Rosenstein's DNC-FBI hit squad raided Cohen's offices and hauled off his files and computers.
The files were placed in the custody of a government "taint team", supposedly made up of long-serving career DOJ employees (i.e. trusted democrats). They began leaking material almost immediately.
On April 13, Cohen's attorneys requested a restraining order against the government and the appointment of a Special Master to review privileged information. The judge waited until...
April 16, then denied the request on the basis that the material was safely in the hands of the trusted DOJ who are eminently qualified to assess what is privileged. Meanwhile, material continued to leak. The judge also ordered the federal government to create a searchable database of all seized documents. This was expected to take "a few days".
On April 26, 10 days later and with the material safely copied and combed through, the judge finally appointed a Special Master. Meanwhile, material is STILL leaking. Where is it coming from? The simplest answer is the files that the government copied, turned into a searchable database as it was ordered, and disseminated to "friendly" parties.

Same all the rest of the related info - some lefitst’s @$$...
Thanks for all the details. I have been paying attention to the Cohen raid but have missed some important details such as the 13 days to appoint a special master who is probably tainted anyhow. Demanding a database be created before a special master is appointed? Judge Kimba is totally corrupt. Watch the TV show Billions to get an idea how corrupt “Justice” is in New York State. That show has given me lots of insight into how Trump is being treated by the DOJ, Rosenstein, Mueller etc
Btw an honest raid on Cohen would have meant right after all the document and hard drive seizures a special master would be appointed to review the material.

Ignorance is not bliss.
Yep. If this is accurate info that Stormy’s pimp...er “lawyer” is somehow privy to, that privy indicates someone did an illegal (and it ain’t Trump). Avenpimp should be strung up for such a leak to the press either way. But we well know that those against Trump are held to different laws and consequences (read: none).
The obvious question: How does he know? Is Stormy Daniel's lawyer the new Christopher Steele? Is he the newest FBI contract agent, cleared for privileged investigative information?
This is so absurd it would laughable if it was just a tv series! Will this lawyer also be the prosecutor? 😒
