This is a developing story…
A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers resurfaced, admitting that President Trump KNEW NOTHING of the Stormy Daniels “hush money” payment.
The Daily Mail obtained the letter last year, revealing that Michael Cohen’s lawyer stated Cohen used his personal funds to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Furthermore, the letter explicitly stated that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
This revelation directly contradicts Cohen’s previous testimony, which is not a shock given that he is a convicted perjurer.

Trump has been accused of making “hush money” payments to Daniels through his former attorney Michael Cohen in an effort to silence her and prevent the story of their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged Trump with 34 felony counts linked to the Stormy Daniels “hush money” transaction.
Robert Costello, Michael Cohen’s former legal advisor, testified before the Manhattan grand jury last year to provide clarity on the matter.
Speaking to reporters in New York last March, Costello slammed Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer.”
Costello asserted that prosecutors had selectively chosen 6 emails from a pool of over 300 emails.
Explaining the financial aspect, Costello stated that Michael Cohen used funds from a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) loan to make the payment to Stormy.
Recalling a conversation with Cohen regarding the payment to Stormy Daniels, Costello asked him, “And why did you take the loan, Michael?” He recalled Cohen responding: “‘I wanted this secret. I didn’t even want my own wife to know. Much less Melania Trump.’”

The 2018 letter from his lawyer to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) destroys Michal Cohen’s testimony.
“In a private transaction in 2016, before the U.S. presidential election, Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford,’ Cohen’s lawyer Stephen Ryan, who worked form McDermott Will & Emery wrote.
“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly,” the lawyer wrote.
“Contrary to the allegations in the complaint, which are entirely speculative, neither Mr. Cohen nor Essential Consultants LLC made any in-kind contributions to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., or any other presidential campaign committee.” he said.
