Rudy Giuliani says Trump repaid attorney Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels

President Donald Trump repaid his personal lawyer Michael Cohen the $130,000 hush payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, Rudy Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday night.

Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York, made the remark on Wednesday night’s edition of “Hannity” on Fox News. His statements appear to directly contradict the version of events proffered by both Trump and Cohen about the payment.

“Funneled through a law firm, and the president repaid it,” Giuliani told host Sean Hannity.

Trump said last month that he didn’t know about Cohen’s payment to Daniels. Cohen has previously maintained that he made the payment himself, and with his own funds.

Giuliani told Hannity that the payment “is going to turn out to be perfectly legal.”

“That money was not campaign money. Sorry, I’m giving you a fact now that you don’t know. It’s not campaign money. No campaign finance violation,” Giuliani said.
