weekend off, you were sorely mistaken. he hit the washington post, nbc, fox and abc, trying to defend the president, but raising a ton of new questions about all of it in the process. take this for example. about the president s knowledge of payments to stormy daniels. are you confident that michael cohen never told president trump that i made this payment in order number one, why would i be and why would i be concerned when it s not a campaign con treb bution. it was done for other purposes in addition to possible campaign purposes. oke doek. so it wasn t a campaign contribution but it may have to do with campaign purposes. by the way, later in that interview, he said the payment, quote, may have involved the campaign but that it doesn t matter. so what about the question of what cohen told trump about the money? you acknowledge that michael cohen would tell the president
thus far and it seems different standards apply at the moment to different people. i will have my eye on, if there are, as steve bannon said, hundreds of women, i ll have my eye to see if we hear from other people in the white house. the first time ivanka trump spoke after the access hollywood tape it was a one on one interview. she said she had never heard her father do anything like that and he was a true champion for women. well, if there are hundreds of women who were paid off, i d love to hear the comments after that. oke doek. coming up, president trump s approval numbers taking a dive to historic lows. plus, the most concerning part, the word people use to describe trump. but first, so much going on, here s one story you might have missed. washington post revealing new ethics concerns for the trump family business. the paper reports prospective buyers of luxury apartments in the new trump towers apartment in india are, quote, being lured with an unusual promise. if you buy
