Maggie Haberman takes "wealthy" Trump's "private citizen business" with mistresses in stride
“This is not the first time you have had a president of the United States who was wealthy, right? There were others who were wealthy who had to take care of private citizen business,” Haberman said. “This is a different realm of private citizen business. It is going to continue to dog him, I think, for the next couple of months.”
“That is absurd, Maggie,” interjected Camerota.
“Which part?”
“The part that Donald Trump every month would sign, by hand, a check for $35,000 and not know,” said a laughing Camerota as Haberman insisted it was perfectly normal. “This is a man who didn’t even pay his vendors when they completed work for him. This is somebody who doesn’t part with $35,000.”
“I’m just doing this for a theoretical,” Haberman shot back. “Say he thought he was reimbursing Michael Cohen for other things that he may not want people to know about. I’m talking specifically about the Stormy Daniels thing. I disagree that it’s absurd.”
