White House 'not aware' of additional payments Cohen made to women on Trump's behalf

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 05/07/18 03:03 PM EDT

The White House on Monday continued to grapple with the fallout from Rudy Giuliani’s statements about Michael Cohen’s payments to women on behalf of President Trump.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she’s “not aware” of additional payments to women besides Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf.

Her statement comes one day after Giuliani told ABC that it’s possible that Cohen had paid other women “if necessary.”

“I’m not aware of any other activity, but I would refer you to Rudy Giuliani to respond to any of those questions or anybody else on the president’s outside counsel,” Sanders said during Monday’s press briefing. Asked if she learned of any such payments during her time with the Trump campaign, Sanders reiterated that she’s “not aware of anything like that.”

When it says the "White House" not aware of additional payments Cohen made to women on trump's behalf who is the "White House"? We often see the "White House" said or reported, but I don't know who it is.

... who paid people off without our prior knowledge and without our prior commitment to reimburse the lawyer for costs plus hourly fees?

Seriesly, how does your lawyer fix things for you?

I'd just come out and say it, right to her face.

"Then why are you even here?, all you do is deflect or lie, we come here to get answers and you never have any, what good are you?"

And then mention I don't need an answer as any reply would just fall into the usual useless category as the last 200.

Bet that eye would be rotating after that.

She needs to make herself aware and then either she or her boss needs to answer yes or no. It’s not the riddle of the sphinx. He either paid the money or he didn’t.
