Michael Cohen Claimed He Talked With Trump the Day of the Stormy Daniels Deal..


President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen was in communication with the then-presidential candidate the day Cohen wired hush money to Stormy Daniels, according to previously unreported tweets.

Those tweets cast doubt on a claim that has been promulgated to distance Trump from the payments to the adult film star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. That claim, which was made anonymously to The Wall Street Journal, is that Cohen “missed two deadlines earlier that month to make the $130,000 payment to Ms. Clifford because he couldn’t reach Mr. Trump in the hectic final days of the presidential campaign.” In fact, according to Cohen’s own tweets, he was in contact with Trump on the very day the hush-money deal was signed and finalized.

On Oct. 27, 2016, Cohen wired $130,000 to Daniels as part of the hush money agreement. The next day, Oct. 28, Cohen signed the agreement, according to court documents. That same day, The Hollywood Reporter posted a viral video of a homeless woman named Denise Scott who was assaulted while trying to keep vandals from defacing Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.“Hey, where’s Donald at?” said one of the men harassing her.
Cohen sent a host of tweets about the story and asked for help finding the woman. He did so, he explained, at the behest of his boss.
“This is one task given to me by @realDonaldTrump that needs to be accomplished quickly,” he wrote at 11:38 p.m. on Oct. 28.
