Michael Cohen claimed he was not reimbursed by Donald Trump or his organization for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels in a 2018 letter to federal authorities, contradicting his recent grand jury testimony,
The bombshell document, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, could throw a wrench in the works of prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against Trump over the payments.
Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and the star witness in the case over which Trump reportedly faces imminent arrest, claims that Trump got him to pay $130,000 to Daniels to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with the real estate mogul, just days before the 2016 presidential election.

Timeline: Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels and the $130,000 payment
“He should be tied to the front of a bus and driven into a wall.”
Gotta say — that made me laugh out loud.
And he’s enough of a gasbag the bus would likely be undamaged.
“Okay bot.“
Lol no I’m not a bot. I like Trump. But it’s true many, many of his hiring decisions have been disasters. Unfortunately Trump hired Cohen.
And also wasn’t it Trump’s decision to have the affair with the porn “star” in the first place? And then ask her to sign the NDA? All of this is ultimately a result of bad choices by him.
Remember Trump also hired
John Bolton
Mike Pence
Anthony Scaramuchi
“Mad dog” (lol) Mattis
Omarosa
Rex Tillerson
Nikki Haley
Jeff Sessions
Reince Priebus
And.. Christopher Wray, Bill Barr…
They’ll just “deem” it paid
Trump would be very wise to offer to support him in ,”any way I can to make the New York I loved great again”. He has to grow this cycle and I think that would be brilliant
He billed Trump monthly, and itemized the bill, and Trump paid it. BFD.
My only problem is why he hired such a creep to represent him, but that seems to be Trump’s way. His previous fixer was Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s homosexual wing man, and one vicious SOB. So he hires creepy members of the Jewish priestly caste (Cohen, Cohn, Kahn, Kagan, Azulai, and several others, are all priestly surnames) as his fixers.
I bet you all thought it was a big no no for a lawyer to subborn perjury...
Is Jared out as advisor now? Sessions though before Trump all of free republic loved him.
Could he and the girl conspired to make his happen? Is there evidence there ever was money exchanged??
After the Clinton Crime Cartel left the White House, The only thing that surprised me was something good and descent happening.
Could he and the girl conspired to make his happen? Is there evidence there ever was money exchanged??
“”Trump: The D.A. should get on with prosecuting violent criminals, so people can walk down the sidewalks of New York without being murdered!””

That just slams the hood on their heads. The get KO’d by Trump and they get exposed as neo-Nazis and obsessed Trump haters.
Conducting an armed raid on a former presidents home wasn’t enough, so they concoct these schemes to arrest and maybe jail Trump. This is some twisted evil s..t.
Okay bot.
“Did he show it to the Grand Jury?
If not, hell’s a comin’.”
He has no obligation to show the letter to the grand jury.
I’m a very enthusiastic Trump supporter, but I agree with you, AC. Trump certainly seems to have bad judgment in choosing counselors. He seems not to be a good judge of character. He has good judgment in most other ways. I don’t understand this.
The lawyer is repeating statements which Cohen later stated were lies. You can believe Cohen or not as you choose, but the letter doesn’t clear Trump.
“They have a slam dunk perjury case against Michael Cohen. But somehow I don’t think that will make them happy.”
Not exactly. The prosecution would have to prove that he is lying now as apposed to lying then. Not an easy case.
