Well he didn’t laugh during most of it if you listened to the interview.
Frankly I found it entertaining that Stephanopoulos kept hammering about this gal. Why on earth would any reporter/jouranlist even take this gal on! What idiots!
That allegedly Trump's lawyer has used words that say "we have to do this before the election" indicating the scandal / payment might influence the election and THAT is the issue they're hammering.
If Trump's lawyer DID use those kinds of words, it can be argued it is election tampering.
