chooses his fingers as the spoon of choice for his chocolate pudding. it s just one of the weird, strange tales of the would-be presidential candidate who apparently likes political stunts and performative hate politics but people, not so much. we begin the reidout tonight with the man who assisted individual one with the hush money payment to an adult film star in the waning days of the 2016 presidential campaign when it was ultimately determined this was days before the election that mr. trump was going to pay the $130,000 in the office with me was allen weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the trump organization he acknowledged to allen that he was going to pay the $130,000 and that allen and i should go back to his office and figure out how to do it trump s longtime person
