The president s involvement of a federal crime. Despite having been caught, his role. Despite the audio tape we have all heard, the president and cohen planning the mcdougal payment. The president says he didnt know about the hush money until after the facts. Did you know about the payments . Later on, i knew. Later on i knew.

With all of that.

It signaled to them that theres sort of a commitment there to get this done. And according to this source, in the words of this source, we want to work this out. Anderson, one other interesting prospect in all of this that i think really needs to be underlined and highlighted, and that is that the conversations are continuing inside the Senate Judiciary committee to have a female attorney, a prosecutor or litigant of some kind to represent the allmale gop side of the Senate Judiciary committee.

He said his work for him has been overstated and he was one of many lawyers who worked on and off with his team. He said he only knew about hush money payments that cohen made to two women, later on. While maintaining their lawful relationship and not from campaign funds. Watch. What he data, and they were taken out of campaign finance, thats a big thing. Did they come out of the campaign .
