Michael Cohen: Stormy Daniels payment was not about the campaign
Source: The HILL
Link to tweet
.
President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen said in an interview published on Monday that the payment to keep adult film star Stormy Daniels quiet about her alleged affair with Trump was not about the 2016 presidential campaign.
"People are mistaking this for a thing about the campaign," Cohen told Vanity Fair.
"What I did defensively for my personal client, and my friend, is what attorneys do for their high-profile clients. I would have done it in 2006. I would have done it in 2011. I truly care about him and the family - more than just as an employee and an attorney," he said, referring to Trump.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a lawsuit earlier this month to void a nondisclosure agreement that she says prevents her from speaking publicly about her alleged affair with Trump, which took place over ten years ago.

"You know what?" Cohen said. "The more I'm thinking about it, I might even take an extended vacation on her dime."

The only redeeming thing about Cheeto and his accomplices is how predictable they are.

It should read "Michael Cohen: Stormy Daniels payment was not about the campaign".
If you do not edit it to use the correct title, this thread may be locked.

Everyone around Trump is a low life, and those who aren't when they start out end up becoming one.
I can not wait for the day that this crew is out of our lives.

Whatever they just said, you can bet the truth is the exact opposite.

And he told Stormy "not to worry" about Melania. So what's left? His reputation? LOL!
