In an interview with Fox News Sean Hannity, former New York City mayor and current Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani unveiled a new anti-Justice Department conspiracy theory, predicted the president is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize, defended Ivanka Trumps honor and offered a bombshell about the Stormy Daniels payout.
During the long-winded interview, Giuliani told Hannity that Trump personally repaid his longtime attorney Michael Cohen for the $130,000 hush agreement payment to Stormy Daniels and that there fore he couldnt have violated campaign finance laws.
Earlier in the interview, he also revealed seemingly new information about special counsel Robert Mueller.
You have an investigation in which Mueller is selected the day after hes turned down for FBI director by [Deputy Attorney General Rod] Rosenstein, who was there when he was turned down, the former NYC mayor said. There are thousands of people that could have been selected for that job. Also, a friend of [fired FBI director] James Comey.

(204,760 posts)In the tumultuous aftermath of Rudy Giulianis bombshell admission during an on-air interview with Sean Hannity that Trump not only knew about but paid the $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, all eyes turned to the president, who had previously told reporters that he had no knowledge of the payment.
According to The Washington Posts Robert Costa, Trump was very pleased with Giulianis admission. Giuliani says [he and Trump] discussed his revelation of the reimbursements long in advance. Does not expect to be fired. Insists his remarks on FNC [Fox News Channel] were approved by Trump.

In reality, Giulianis comments that Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, funneled the [$130,000] through a law firm, and the president repaid it are tantamount to an admission of campaign finance law violation.
