administration. it's been on the $130,000 payment daniels received from long time trump attorney michael cohen. that's because trump's newest attorney rudy giuliani made an unexpected admission during an interview with fox. giuliani said the president reimbursed cohen for the daniels payment. giuliani released a statement quote clarifying some of his remarks. he said quote there is no campaign violation. the payment was made to resolve a personal and false allegation in order to protect the president's family. it would have been done in any event, whether he was a candidate or not. my references to timing were not describing my understanding of the president's knowledge, but instead my understanding of these matters. regardless, giuliani's remarks seem to contradict previous statements made by cohen and the president. president trump reminded the press that giuliani is new. he also disputed the claim that what president trump is saying now is different than what he said in the past. >> rudy made the statements.
