A large majority of Americans in a new poll said they find it believable that former President Trump paid adult-film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to keep her from talking about an alleged affair between the two.
Seventy percent in the Reuters-Ipsos poll released on Tuesday said they find the allegations at the center of the Manhattan district attorney’s probe into the former president to be very or somewhat believable.
While most Democrats — 89 percent — said they found the allegations believable, while 50 percent of Republicans also agreed that the claims against the former president appeared likely, the poll found.

Doesn’t Congress have a slush fund specifically for that purpose?
The only crime here is that a corrupt DA and the media is trying to say that it is.
Are we talking Paula Jines rape hush money or Stormy Daniel’s stripper hush money here? Just asking?
The ‘hill’ is a pile.

Now the media is laying the groundwork to get the public to approve if Trump is arrested.
