And now convicted attorney, Michael Cohen. In his first interview since being sentenced to three years in prison, Michael Cohen told abc news the president s claims are just not true. Nothing in the Trump Organization was ever done unless it was run through mr. Trump. He directed me, as i said in the plea, he directed me to make the payments. But thats not all. Nbc news has confirmed a wall street journal report that trump was in the room with National Enquirer publisher, david pecker, and Michael Cohen in august of 2015 during the actual hush money discussions. This is a direct contradiction to what trump said back in april. Remember this . Reporter did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . Why did Michael Cohen make those . Didnt know where the money came from. Lets start with white house correspondent, Kelly Odonnell.

Second. S that very big deal. Following all these storylines for us from the white house is nbcscally odonnell. Cally, run us through this. So much has developed since last night when we first heard of the discussion of a subpoena. Then another unexpected change to the trump legal team. For people who dont follow it as closely as you and i do it seems like a Seismic Shift like things are changing on the president s legal strategy. It is that sort of popping today but its been the works behind the scenes for a long time. By that i mean our sources have told us that the president and those top officials here in the white house have been trying to bring in this lawyer that you mentioned, emmett flood from the firm in washington, to bring him inside the white house.
