Tonight, my favorite moment was when rudy said if they go after ivanka, he s going to get up on a white steed with a lance and it right into the white house to rescue her. i think of all the things you said, we ve got to get a graphic made. sean: i can see the collective destroy trump media, their heads exploded tonight. laura: good evening from washington, i m laura ingraham, this is a the ingraham angle. a rollicking interview between hannity and rudy giuliani just concluding. the former new york city mayor and newly appointed trump attorney dishing on the trump legal strategy, jim comey, bob mueller, and whether the president will submit to a special counsel interview, even revealing a new detail that has the left going nuts tonight about the alleged stormy daniels payout. we are going to break it all down for you tonight, the slot
Forward the complaint on the stormy daniels payout, and alleged campaign finance violations. so this all starts with you and your group, paul. what s your reaction to the whirlwind of the last 18 hours? it s great to be back with you again. my reaction is that despite rudy giuliani s intentions, he made donald trump s legal problems much worse with his comments last night. as did the president with his comments this morning via tweet. why? because before last night, donald trump had denied any knowledge of this payment to stormy daniels. and what is required for a criminal violation of the campaign finance law is knowing and willful acts. president trump s acknowledgment of reimbursement, the acknowledge that he reimbursed cohen puts him in knowledge. there was something in the series of what appear to be lawyer-written tweets on the president s in which they talk about the fact that these arrangements of having a lawyer on retainer is common. so the implication here is that
