President Trump’s lawyer complained to friends following the 2016 election that he had not been reimbursed for his payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Michael Cohen paid Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement that ensured she would not speak about an alleged 2006 affair with Trump.
Cohen last month acknowledged that he made the payment, and denied it violated any campaign finance laws.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen was working to secure a deal with Clifford’s representatives in October 2016, but was unable to track down Trump. As a result, he used his own funds to wire money to Clifford’s lawyer.
Cohen’s bank later flagged the wire transaction as suspicious and reported it to the Treasury Department, The Wall Street Journal reported.
I actually had to take a break before adding anything to this because I was laughing too hard.
What a moron.
And he should have known better, because this is exactly how Trump has treated contractors who he hired to work on his properties, and business associates that he has worked deals with over the years.
