From 2012. Yes 2012. 6 years ago.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright caused problems for President Barack Obama's campaign in 2008, and new details have emerged alleging that the then-candidate tried to convince his former pastor to keep quiet.
The retired pastor, who came under fire after an old sermon where he said that the September 11 terrorist attacks were 'America's chickens coming home to roost', said that he was offered $150,000 to stay silent until the election was over.
Journalist Edward Klein interviewed Mr Wright and included their conversation in his new book, The Amateur.

Reggie was only one of Obamas White House romances. But he seemed to stay quite a while.
“But he seemed to stay quite a while.”
that’s cuz Barry hates to leave his buddy’s behind.
#3. Hope your comment was in jest.
If Obama did play for Wright’s silence, then it sets a precedence for Trump to argue against any legal action against him for allegedly the same thing.
There are a lot of precedents that could/would be exposed besides the $150,000 such as the 17 million paid out of the congressional slush fund for their sexual encounters.
But my comment was not really in jest but more of irony. That will be the democrats excuse for not going after Obama.
BTW! I really enjoyed Trumps basing and setting up Schumer and Pelosi in their televised news conference. The two are such clowns and still do not give Trump credit for what he does. He beat them down and set them up for the govt shut down.
Off topic I know but just had to say it.
thanks for posting
