NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer secretly recorded Trump discussing payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with him.
The president’s current personal lawyer confirmed the conversation and said it showed Trump did nothing wrong, The New York Times reported Friday. ABC News and The Washington Post confirmed the report as well.
Citing lawyers and others familiar with the recording, The Times said attorney Michael Cohen made the recording two months before Trump’s 2016 election. The newspaper said the FBI seized the recording during an April raid on Cohen’s office amid an investigation into his business dealings.
People familiar with the investigation have told The Associated Press that the raid sought, among other things, any information on payments made in 2016 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who says she had an affair with Trump in 2006. He denies it.
The Wall Street Journal revealed, days before the election, that the National Enquirer — run by Trump supporter David Pecker — had paid $150,000 to silence McDougal. At the time, Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said, “We have no knowledge of any of this.”
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told the Times the Republican president did discuss the payments to McDougal with Cohen on the less than two-minute-long recording, but that the payment was never made.
Giuliani says Trump told Cohen that if he did make a payment, to do it by check so it could be documented.
“Nothing in that conversation suggests that he had any knowledge of it in advance,” Giuliani told the newspaper. “In the big scheme of things, it’s powerful exculpatory evidence.”

Trump is Straight, Obama is a Faggot. News at 11
He has a lot higher standards than Bill Clinton!
The leftist bastards, led by the discredited NYT, have been paying people to say things about Trump. Remember alien james carville saying “Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.”?
How many whores are willing to take money to say something about Trump? After all, they’re whores!
The same NYT deliberately suppressed all stories about BJ’s and Larry Sinclair, and bammy.
I don’t know about the rest of you but the only feeling that I have on this issue is jealousy!
I too am 70 years old.
BTW what did General Patton say about fighting soldiers and this issue?

I'd expect better from a Navy Commander than blackmail...
If you had a couple of billion dollars laying around she might have slept with you.
I am guessing a couple of burgers and a movie didnt close the deal.
A couple million more votes for Trump. What a shame.
The republican has are much hotter than the dem hos.
has=hos
These jack@sses in the MSM still think POTUS is your typical paid off phony politician.Everyone knows his life as it has been fodder for the magazines and papers for decades.Oh what a scandal!!!Hahaha.
Who cares?
So?
NOT GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Deep state is trying to separate Melania from her husband, and the Deplorables from President Trump.
F’em.
5.56mm
I am such a woman. I look at her picture and my first thought: I love her eyelashes! (Maybe the Pres was not thinking, wonder where she gets her eyelashes done)
It has been noted here in Freerepublic and in other magazines, that very rich men have these kind of leeches show up, meet them and then threaten to tell the media they had an affair. It is actually cheaper for the wealthy individual to pay a small amount rather than litigate.
So we do not really know if Trump actually did have an affair with her.
Would Carter have been a better president if he had maybe let go with a couple models?
Why doesn’t this ever happen to me?
