President Donald Trump only recently found out that he reimbursed his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement with adult performer Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani claimed Thursday.

In a telephone interview with NBC News, Giuliani insisted he only shared details of the payment with Trump about a week ago.

“I don't think the president realized he paid him (Cohen) back for that specific thing until we (his legal team) made him aware of the paperwork,” he said.

Giuliani said the president responded, "‘Oh my goodness, I guess that's what it was for.’”

He just keeps going and going and going and....

[mercuryblues]

1. A man who cashes

a 13 cent check is not a man who gives his lawyer $130,000 without know why.

[Mc Mike]

4. +1000

[iluvtennis]

21. +10000

[MaryMagdaline]

11. I was thinking that very thing. He is cheapskate and knows about

Every penny he is spending

[forgotmylogin]

17. So...if you commit adultery with enough porn stars that you need someone to handle paying them

...to keep their politically damaging stories mum without you needing to be looped in on the conversation it's okay?

I don't even know if that could be called a first world problem.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Oh my goodness?

Yeah, that sounds like Trump.

[Jedi Guy]

18. LOL

That was my first thought, too.

[underpants]

3. The old clueless defense

Seriously they should keep Rudy off the air but then again he has until about 4pm today to make good on his prediction that this would all be over in "a couple of weeks"

[ginnyinWI]

14. yeah so what if he didn't "know".

He still had the affair, still lied about it, still runs his life like a mob boss. Anyone who gives passes for these things is just in it for their own advantage. Especially the Evangelicals who should have much better scruples.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Yeah right...prove it then...nt

[Mc Mike]

6. See, kids, this is what happens when you try to lie about your lies about your lies

about your lies about your lies about your lies

etc.

7. Giuliani's attempting a legal "firebreak"

But not cutting enough wood fast enough!!!

fire·break
noun
an obstacle to the spread of fire, such as a strip of open space in a forest.

[catbyte]

8. It's almost painful to watch. Almost.

[GusBob]

9. I thought he watched alot of TV. Doesnt he pay attention to the news?

I mean people have been talking about this for months now

[llmart]

10. "Oh my goodness"...

Really Rudy???? That's the lamest excuse since "the dog ate my homework".

Egads, he's a caricature of ridiculousness. Has he no self-respect? Don't answer that. That was a rhetorical question.

[Botany]

12. Sure thing

lots of times people write $130,000 checks and don't know what it is for ....

[forgotmylogin]

19. Remember, it was installments.

He didn't want the bank to flag large payment sums for review. It's not like Mr. "Forbes Billionaire" couldn't have paid that as a lump sum, but they were trying to keep it a secret!

"Trump doesn't have time to keep track of all his bidness..." ...because he's too busy golfing and humping random sex workers when he's away at Whore-A-Lot-Go and doesn't want to be bothered with the frivolous transaction details.

So Presidential.

[Nitram]

13. That's Rudy's story, and he's sticking to it. Too bad Trump has already said so much about it

already, all of it conflicting.

[Grammy23]

15. What is it about tRump that makes him surround himself with idiots and morons?

Don’t answer that.

The problem for tRump is that no self respecting attorney wants to come within 10 miles of him. So that leaves him only the lamest of the lame or the most dishonest characters this side of Alcatraz.

The question on the lips of many people is “What has happened to Rudy?” He was America’s Mayor less than 20 years ago. The darling of the news media. And now? He is a growling, snarling demagogue. He is unrecognizable.

The appearances he has made on news shows this past week indicate a man who has suffered some kind of terrible break with the guy from 9-11. This behavior might tend to take some of the shine off the image he had back then.

16. $420,000 not $130,000

"When asked how many payments Trump had made, Giuliani told NBC News the president started paying Cohen back in January 2017 and that altogether there were “about 12 installments of $35,000 each.”

The money, totaling an estimated $420,000, also covered other expenses and fees for Cohen, Giuliani said, but he was unable to provide details."

[forgotmylogin]

20. "...unable to provide details"

Cohen and Giulani don't have details...even though Cohen was the guy doing the details so Traitor Tot wouldn't need to...

Isn't there some kind of school lawyers have to go to first before they actually do lawyering?
