Cohen says Trump called him to coordinate the 'public messaging' around the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels: He says the president told him to say that he was 'not knowledgeable of these payments and he wasn’t knowledgeable of my actions.”
In February 2018, several weeks after the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her about her relationship with Donald Trump, Cohen issued a statement saying he used his “own funds” and that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was privy to the arrangement.
Following the Wall Street Journal report, Trump insisted that he was not aware of Cohen’s payments to Daniels. On Wednesday, Cohen submitted to the House panel a copy of a $35,000 check he says Trump gave to him in July 2017 in partial reimbursement of the payment to Daniels.
