Dent: No Way Cohen Wrote $130K Check 'Out Of The Goodness Of His Heart'

Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) said Thursday that it had always been obvious Trump lawyer Michael Cohen didnt make an $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 out of the goodness of his heart.
Dent was responding to Trump lawyer Rudy Giulianis claims in interviews Wednesday and Thursday that, contrary to Cohen and Trumps previous claims, Cohen was reimbursed for the payment by Trump.
I dont think there was anybody on the planet who thought that Michael Cohen, out of the goodness of his heart, wrote a $130,000 check to Stormy Daniels without seeking any reimbursement, Dent told CNN. I mean, who would do that?
I mean, tell me a lawyer who would write a check out of his own pocket for his client without a reimbursement? he continued. I mean, come on, I mean, were not fools here.
Giuliani, Dent said, simply stated what we already expected was the case.
