He was okay on television. Years ago, many years, like 12 or 13 years ago, he did me a favor. He was on a committee and so responsive and so good. I said hes a nice guy. He was a lawyer. Because of that, i did it. In retrospect, i made a mistake. The president s new explanation for the hush payments, the latest version of of the ever changing story. He once said he didnt know about the payments. Did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . No, no. Why did Michael Cohen make that payment . You have to ask Michael Cohen. Michaels an attorney. You have to ask Michael Cohen. Do you know where he got the money to make that payment . I dont know.
