WATCH: Giuliani tells Fox News Hannity that Trump personally repaid Cohen for Stormy Daniels payment

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 Trump’s 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 couldn’t 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 he’s 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.”

How long is Giuliani going to last? I think he loves the sudden attention so he's bound to say anything to keep the spotlight on himself...

4. Followup: Trump just responded to bombshell Giuliani admission claiming he knew about $130k payment

May 2018

In the tumultuous aftermath of Rudy Giuliani’s 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 Post’s Robert Costa, Trump was “very pleased” with Giuliani’s 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, Giuliani’s 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.
