Stormy Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti said Tuesday that President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen received $500,000 in the months after the 2016 election from a company run by a Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Avenatti said that the funding may have been used to reimburse the $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to stay quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani revealed last week that Trump had reimbursed Cohen $130,000, which was given to Daniels just weeks before the 2016 election. Cohen had earlier claimed that the non-disclosure payment came from his own funds, and Trump had told he was unaware it had been been made.
Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s personal legal team, has said that Trump only recently learned of the payment to Daniels, and he has not ruled out the possibility that Cohen made payments to other women on Trump's behalf.

Ah, so it was the RUSSIANS who paid off Stormy Daniels...
Of course.
How did we miss it?
(sarc/off)
where did his info come from?

Let’s smear EVERY lawyer with a Russian client.
LOL!
Cohen isn’t allowed to say, so idiots can assume what they want.
They quit trying to pretend they weren’t lying a long time ago.
How would he know? He is just trying to grab the headlines back from the New York AG.
How would Stormy’s lawyer know this? The only way anyone would know this, if it were true, is if the information came from the pre-morning raid of Cohen’s house, office, and hotel. Those documents were supposed to have been sequestered until the legal battle over them was determined. Hmmm....
Totally blows up the “Trump used campaign funds to pay off Daniels” hysteria.
With all going on today (Iran, elections) of course the Porn News Network (CNN) is back to Stormy.
I am so sick of these baseless accusations, but Brett LOVES to put them on the 6:00 PM news ...as he just did....and give them as much credence as the New York AG’s S&M true accusations!
I just saw it on Fox....Brett Baier......( I truly have so much anger towards this putz!)
He was equating the two stories
No crime.
But supposedly Russian collusion is proven! We finally got Trump!
Even Mueller didn’t think it was illegal.

Yeah, but there’s no evidence or even claim that there’s a connection.
It’s left to the media to infer and imply one.
Never watch Brett anymore.
I listen to Dan Bongino’s daily hour podcast during that time slot.
If true this info comes from the Mike Cohen raid. A gov’t leak to Avanetti.
Yes, someone is feeding Daniel’s lawyer information. Nice way to stack the deck.
They finally found their coveted Russian connection to Stormy.
Wonder what took them so long.
