denied directly to michael cohen, to make that 130,00 dollar payment before the 2016 election, but what michael cohen has yet to directl answer, is when he knew that that stormy daniels arraignmen was waved because he was writing persona checks all the way from th white house, all the way u until december 2017, when asked him two times he faile to provide a timeline and then i asked him, well what did you think you are making those payments for? and, quote, well, i don t know exactly what the status or rug actually what the question i as to how much but he did work for us but he did not do very muc work for us. he then went on to talk abou the weaponization and ended hi remarks by saying that i had n more questions again, donald trump ha declined, repeatedly, to giv his own version of events. and that is why you could gues that he is likely to - undergo before a jury, chris yeah, i think we will not expect his testimony shoul this come to trial i want to ask one more question bec
