Cohen fans flames around Trump
Michael Cohen, President Trumps 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 ABCs 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 Trumps assertion that he had not directed his long-time attorney to do anything wrong, Cohen responded, I dont think theres anybody that believes that.
Cohen also said the payments, apparently intended to suppress the womens 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.
