Stormy Daniels: Trump’s lawyer paid porn actress $ 130,000
Donald Trump’s personal lawyer said he paid the porn star, who claimed to have had sex with Trump. The meeting is said to have taken place months after his marriage to his wife Melania.
One of the attorneys for the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has acknowledged the payment of $ 130,000 to porn actress Stormy Daniels (pictured), although he claimed that the money came from her pocket and did not did not explain why.
“Neither the Trump organization nor the Trump campaign were involved in the transaction with Ms. Stephanie Clifford (Stormy Daniels), and they did not reimburse me directly or indirectly,” Michael Cohen said in a statement sent on Tuesday ( 02/13/2018) to the New York Times. This is the first time that Trump’s environment has recognized this payment that the Wall Street Journal reported last January.
Buy silence
According to the newspaper, Michael Cohen paid Daniels $ 130,000 before the November 2016 election so that he would not speak in public about the sexual relationship she had with the current president ten years ago. The publication was a huge scandal, as the alleged relationship occurred shortly after the wedding of Trump and current First Lady Melania Trump.
“The payment to Mrs Clifford was legal and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expense from anyone,” said the lawyer, who claimed to have given explanations to the Federal Election Commission after a complaint for alleged abuse of campaign funds.
