Trump lawyer Michael Cohen says he paid Stormy Daniels $130k from his personal home equity line

Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen sent $130,000 to Stormy Daniels by transferring money from his home equity line, ABC News reports.

“The funds were taken from my home equity line and transferred internally to my LLC account in the same bank.”

Michael Avenatti, the attorney for Daniels, provided emails to ABC News to prove Cohen used his Trump Organization email to facilitate a payout to Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.

Avenatti said Cohen’s use of the email proves Trump was aware of the payout.

Depending on the Bank involved,each HELCO has certain Thresholds that need to be Papered . And that has to fall within the boundaries of the underlying appraisals of the Property.

This Smells to high hell. Who has the paper work on the Bank Tarnsfer?

Under "Reason for loan," did you put "Bribe porn actress to keep her yap shut"? Because I don't think most banks will lend you money for that, no matter how noble the story behind it.
