LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “Donald Trump said Thursday [4-26-18] that attorney Michael Cohen ‘represented me’ by cutting a deal with porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, after the president previously said he didn’t know about the ‘hush money’ payment. Trump also tried to distance himself from Cohen, who is currently under federal criminal investigation related to his business dealings…Earlier this month, Trump said he did not know about the $130,000 payment Cohen has acknowledged making to Daniels during the 2016 campaign in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual interaction with Trump a decade earlier. Asked by reporters aboard Air Force One whether he knew about the payment Cohen made to Daniels, Trump replied: ‘No.'”
