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.

Nothing burger! In America, we are free to do business deals with any foreigner unless they are specifically on a prohibited sanction list.
I wish to Hell someone would finally listen to what I keep saying number one president Trump never agreed that he had any tryst Affair Etc with stormy I’m a skank Daniels number to the mayor did not say he had payments to other women where is this coming from they make stuff up out of whole cloth I watch that interview he never said it I’m done with this crap
Did it come out of the same fund as Bill Clinton’s Moscow speaking fee?
Russian oligarch was questioned but wasn’t charged.
Its a nothingburger even it turns out to be true.
Fake news media sees Russians under every bed.
Avenatti is a lawyer. The minute he used “may have” invalidated the whole story. Besides, how does a payment from a Russian oligarch equate to Trump reimbursing? So sick of these idiots!
She must be a hand puppet, which says loads about what fits where, because she’s saying what the hand in her time tells her to say.

Hummmm.....
Pretty serious accusation....he better have proof....
If he doesn’t Cohen needs to sue the crap out of him for libel....
I love articles from The Shrill. It’s fun to jab at the delusional libs, there.
“Trump never agreed that he had any tryst Affair Etc with stormy I’m a skank Daniels”
And Stormy “I’m a skank” Daniels said it never happened.
main headline on Drudge
the stormy nonsense is sucking ALL the media oxygen out of the political leftosphere, so whatever “message” it is the Dems claim to have has no chance of getting through. Even a few leftists are worried about it since polls show russians and stormys are WAY down at the bottom of voters’ concerns lists ...
Brett and Shemp are vying for “Most like CNN” candidates, me thinks.
Next Avenatti is going to say that Stormy was at the pee pee party.
Uh, er, um, who cares?
Drudge has long gone to the dark side, you do realize?
It’s been revealed that Avenatti has extremely close ties to leading Democraps such as Rahm Emanuel and others.
I imagine he gets bunches of info from the Mueller team and others, via one channel or another. He may very well be a fairly direct op of DNC types or some of their donors etc.
Funny thing Erin Burnett was forced to disclose Michael Cohen’s firm did lobbying work for Time Warner - which just coincidentally owns CNN!
Schadenfreude.
Just get the word Russian in there and let the innuendos fly....many Americans lap it up. btw Stormy Daniels said (let slip) she is not paying for her lawyer Avanetti. He comes free of charge.
saw it on FoxNews, then this is from the Hill...
here’s some info too.. but it’s from CNN, so...
