Donald Trump just unwittingly admitted to another federal crime, @NormEisen says.

onald Trump may have just admitted to committing a crime in an interview on Fox & Friends, Barack Obama's former ethics chief said.

The president appeared on the show after his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight charges, including campaign finance violations. Cohen claimed in court that he arranged payments to two women who alleged they had affairs with Trump at the direction of the now-president. While the full interview will not air until Thursday, a short clip released from Fox News showed Trump telling co-host Ainsley Earhardt that he knew about the payments.

“Later on I knew, later on, but you have to understand, Ainsley, what he did, and they weren’t taken out of campaign finance—that’s a much bigger thing, did they come out of the campaign? They didn’t come out of the campaign,” Trump said during the interview.

Being overly confident that you know everything about everything is annoying to everyone around you but not really that big of deal, except when you're a crook.

Then you admit felonies on national television without realizing what you're doing.

Admit to his crimes
So, when Mueller lays it all out there is no shock value
To the public it is old news and Trump was actually truthful

He(and Rudy)has been doing this for a while
