Cohen fans flames around Trump

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, is posing a public relations threat, as well as a legal one, to the White House as he keeps himself center stage in the media.

Cohen gave an interview to ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday, in which he insisted that “of course” Trump knew payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal were wrong.

Asked by anchor George Stephanopoulos about Trump’s assertion that he had not directed his long-time attorney to do anything wrong, Cohen responded, “I don’t think there’s anybody that believes that.”

Cohen also said the payments, apparently intended to suppress the women’s accusations that they had affairs with the then-candidate about a decade earlier, were made “to help him and the campaign.”

If Trump was indeed complicit in making concealed payments to boost his election chances, it would appear to be a felonious violation of campaign law.
