into the account that michael cohen had established. this was the essential consultants account in order to pay my client the $130,000 payment. that is a huge problem for the president. it would be direct conduct by the trump organization to reimburse that payment. that would constitute campaign finance violation, and would basically make donald trump a co-conspirator. that is directly contrary to what rudy giuliani told sean hannity a few months ago. what he told sean hannity was, the payment was reimbursed by way of invoices, i think he said laundered or used a similar word when describing how the 130,0$130,000 was uses.
by saying he reimbursed a campaign contribution that was above the limits and didn t disclose it in his 2019 2018 report, rudy giuliani simply doesn t understand the law or doesn t care about the law. and this particular culture of lying we know, that it was rudy giuliani who said that when donald trump lied to the press on air force one you ve done that clip, i ve seen. it s not a crime to lie to the american people. well, giuliani s right about that, but it is an impeachable offense. to use the office of the president to abuse the powers of the presidency and lie to the american people. i m not going to hold you too much longer, but again you say, michael cohen has information that does what as it relates to conspiracy and collusion? i think it would be of interest to mr. mueller, and i
after having known donald trump for 12 or 15 years that donald trump would not make a good president. here s what happened, michael cohen realized he was dead to rights, he was in the crosshairs, whatever metaphor you want to use, as it relates to prosecutors from the southern district of new york. he took the steps he s taken for no other reason than to save himself and his family. let s be clear about that, let s not try to call it anything other than what it is, just so everyone understands what happened. this season the about love of country or patriotism, michael cohen waited until the last possible moment, you ve witnessed it over the last five months. he s been practically begging for donald trump to lead him out of the dark force for months now, it became clear it wasn t going to happen. he was waiting on some help in the president. no question. i think he was waiting for loyalty and it never developed. it s a lengthy sound bite, but this is what you were referring to e
mr. trump reimbursed michael cohen for the advance money paid to miss daniels to keep her quiet. that is rudy giuliani saying that donald trump knew, directed and paid michael cohen. there is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government charges against mr. cohen. this is giuliani speaking here. it is clear that as the prosecutor noted, mr. cohen s actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time. let me repeat. i am talking about a fact not in dispute. mr. trump s attorney submitted a letter published to the special council, in which they said mr. trump directed mr. cohen to make this payment. whatever giuliani wants to invent, that truth isn t truth or to say what s on the tape
know what they re doing, they re experts and they re getting at the bottom of what happened, not just with donald trump and other people in his orbit, it says to me today too, jared kushner, other individuals that are in that personal circle of donald trump, we may be hearing something from the special council and his team of investigators as it relates to those individuals as well. i don t think they re out of the clear by a longshot. thank you, i appreciate your time. when we come back, both the president s former campaign chairman and his personal attorney headed to prison. that makes five members of trump s circle who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes. what happened to trump s law and order presidency? what happened? with our largesty of crab all year! like new crabfest combo. your one chance to have new jumbo snow crab with tender dungeness crab. or try crab lover s dream. but hurry in. cause crabfest ends september 2nd.
