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.

“Bragg withheld 600 pages of exculpatory evidence. They should arrest him for misconduct.”
I will explain this one more time for those of you who allow emotion to interfere with reason and the well- established rule of law: The prosecutor is not required to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury. Also, the prosecution is not required to provide exculpatory evidence to the defendant prior to indictment, arraignment, and plea.
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.
it doesnt indict Trump either, was cohen lying then or later ?
Shut this crap DA operation down already! And bring ethics complaint against Bragg ... https://t.co/WCM1iVJryI— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) March 23, 2023
A grand jury is not usually shown exculpatory evidence by the DA. That doesn’t occur till pre trial requests come from defense. The Brady Rule.
Also, the prosecution is not required to provide exculpatory evidence to the defendant prior to indictment, arraignment, and plea.............
2019 ny loosened up what proscutor must provide especially prior to a plea
The Highly Confidential communication provides solid evidence that DJT will not be arrested yesterday.
You are correct. Thank-you.
He also said he wasn’t reimbursed by the Trump Org. or the campaign.
He never says DJT didn’t reimburse him and Trump himself has said that he did.
Naw, just arrest him ‘cause we don’t like him. That is what they have tried to do to Trump for 7 years.
Now. Square a used up porn star with trumps germophobia. It’s like the pee pee tapes. Completely unbelievable unless your a tds sufferer
January: Cohen seeks reimbursement from the Trump Organization for $180,035 — $130,000 for the payment to Daniels, plus a wiring fee and an extra $50,000. Trump Organization executives double the reimbursement to $360,000 and add another $60,000, for a total of $420,000 to be paid in monthly installments for 12 months.
Cohen sends invoices for $35,000 per month and receives $420,000 from the company over the course of the year.

“He has no obligation to show the letter to the grand jury.”
It appears he had no legal obligation to do so although his decision to pursue an indictment when possessing this as well as other “exculpatory” documentation makes his ethical misfeasance prodigious.
Did you foresee that Sessions was going to recuse himself? I didn’t. Rosenstein and company pulled a professional con job on Sessions, who pretty much walked in from the Alabama cotton fields and “respected” Rosenstein too much.
“..He should be tied to the front of a bus and driven into a wall....”
After one look at “Fat Albert”, both the bus and the wall would probably disagree with ya....LOL.
He’s already been convicted of fraud and perjury, killing any credibility at all to begin with. A second perjury conviction should get him the 2024 presidential nomination.

“The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018,” the signed statement reads. “I am not denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying it because it never happened.”
That’s for a jury to decide.
That’s for a jury to decide.
not necessarily..all possible cases dont go to trial or are even indicted its to protect people against things like this.
its not a crime....because it happened BEFORE the 2016 election, the left still think..”well, if this had come out, Hillary would have won”..man, they will never get over that election, the main “sin” was that it wiped the Obama “legacy” out...Trump has over shadowed Obama so badly....
