well, he does watch fox 24/7Washington (CNN)White House press secretary Sarah Sanders faced a battery of questions Wednesday about Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who filed suit against President Donald Trump this week alleging he hadn't signed a nondisclosure agreement that would have prevented her from discussing their alleged sexual affair.
Sanders attempted to stave off the questions by referring them to Trump's outside lawyers. But she did reveal that -- as far as she's aware -- Trump himself did not know his lawyer Michael Cohen made a payment to Daniels in October 2016 to ensure her silence.
"Not that I'm aware of," Sanders said when pressed whether Trump knew about the payment. "Anything beyond what I've already given you, I would refer you to the President's outside counsel."
It was the latest development in the ongoing legal saga involving Cohen, Trump, and Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.
In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, a lawyer for Daniels alleges Trump failed to sign the nondisclosure agreement brokered by Cohen, thereby nullifying it.

That is precisely why she didnt ask. She already knows the answer, but sadly doesnt care.

if he slept with a porn star? No, not only one million wouldnt not ONE would.
Would one million of them drop him if he then had her killed to keep her quiet? Probably not.

(21,786 posts)7. There's another problem there: campaign finance laws
Cohen's 130K payment to keep this quiet while Trump was running for President can probably be construed as a campaign contribution, and it's well in excess of Federal limits.
