Michael Cohen used Trump Org. email in Stormy Daniels arrangements

Source: NBC News

President Donald Trump's personal attorney used his Trump Organization email while arranging to transfer money into an account at a Manhattan bank before he wired $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence.

The lawyer, Michael Cohen, also regularly used the same email account during 2016 negotiations with the actress — whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford — before she signed a nondisclosure agreement, a source familiar with the discussions told NBC News.

And Clifford's attorney at the time addressed correspondence to Cohen in his capacity at the Trump Organization and as "Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump," the source said.

Cohen has tried to put distance between the president and the payout, which has been the subject of campaign finance complaints.

from the few times I've seen him on tv, seems much more Impressive then Sez Who. Stormy appears to have beaten Trump in the picking out a professional competent attorney.

No wonder he's stayed with drumpf all these years, he's almost as stupid and venal as the orange one. This definitely makes it a campaign financing violation, I'd think, since he was doing it as part of his role with trump.org.

Something about that Cohen goon that I will NEVER be able to get past, any time I see his nasty, ugly, wannabe tough guy face.

He is VERMIN. Scum. A SNAKE. I'm surprised that he stands upright rather than slithering along the ground on his belly.

he pugnaciously responded "sez WHO?" to every question the female interviewer asked him?

He was obnoxious and bullying and trying very hard to assert an on-offense position. All in on in-yer-face. "Sez WHO?" over and over and over again. That's how he answered every one of her questions.

Jerk. Mobster thug jerk.
