On His Own
Cohen now stood alone about any payments made to Stormy Daniels. Daniels accused Trump of sleeping with her and seeking to silence her.
Trump responded to questions about making a payment to Daniels. This was the first time he had publicly faced questions in the matter. Trump said he had no idea such a deal had taken place.
The reporter asked “then why did Michael Cohen make [the payment], if there was no truth to her allegations?”
“You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen,” Trump said. “Michael’s my attorney, and you’ll have to ask Michael.”
Another reporter chimed in “do you know where he got the money to make that payment?”
“No,” Trump replied. “I don’t know.”
That reporter queried: “Did you ever set up a fund of money that he could pull from?”
Trump ignored this particular question which to some may signify that he did have such a fund.
Responding to Trump’s comment Daniel’s lawyer Michael Avanetti said Trump finally cracked.
