President Trump’s lawyer complained to friends following the 2016 election that he had not been reimbursed for his payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

Michael Cohen paid Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 as part of a non-disclosure agreement that ensured she would not speak about an alleged affair with President Trump. Cohen last month acknowledged that he made the payment, and denied it violated any campaign finance laws.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen was working to secure a deal with Clifford’s representatives in October 2016, but was unable to track down Trump. As a result, he used his own funds to wire money to Clifford’s lawyer. Cohen’s bank later flagged the wire transaction as suspicious and reported it to the Treasury Department, The Wall Street Journal reported.

4. How much truth is there in this Story?

Wall Street Journal==Murdoch. Smells to high hell.

9. Yep.

11. WSJ News is different from the Editorial Dept. In fact the News Dept has a good reputation for

being accurate; they've had quite a few exposes of Trump.

13. Point taken.

14. Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Chris Matthews use their articles frequently, and their reporters...

have been in those programs to discuss the articles.

Back when Murdoch owned the Boston Herald, my husband and I were involved in an issue that eventually became national news. The Herald's reporting was excellent while the editorials were all against us. The Boston Globe started the entire uproar and editorialized against us too.

This is what I'm talking about:

5. Oh c'mon now, Cohen...

...As Dump's lawyer, you should be very familiar with the fact that he doesn't pay the people who do work for him.

Any DU'er, without a crystal ball, would have known this result.

The bank used by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer to wire $130,000 to a former adult-film actress flagged the transaction as suspicious and reported it to the Treasury Department, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The lawyer, Michael Cohen, wired the money to a lawyer for former actress Stephanie Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels, from an account at First Republic Bank. The money was received on Oct. 27, 2016, 12 days before the presidential election, another

12. Without the scrutiny he is now under

the money would have been given to him under the table by e.g. the billionaires benefiting from dumpsterism.

15. Hard to believe....

Trump stiffing one of his bills?!

I'm surprised he didn't just bill it as legal fees.

[dreamland]

16. He's been trumped

tRUMP has a reason not to pay him, because paying the lawyer would admit guilt by association. Not to pay him, will only link the lawyer to the porn star, but not tRUMP. It would be one man's word against the other. Stupidity reigns.

21. Good point!

17. Too stupid for words

Why hasn't he sued to get it back? Where did this guy get his law degree? The University of Somoa? Trumpty Dumpty laughing all the way to the bank.

18. And you ain't gonna be!

Sucker!

19. She could just ignore their 'deal' and talk.

Dare him to sue. If he does, that proves they had a 'deal'. Guilty as charged.

20. Itemize the bill and send it to Melania
