Trump says he didn’t know lawyer paid $130K to Stormy Daniels

Stormy who?

President Trump said aboard Air Force One on Thursday that he had no idea his personal lawyer paid $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

“No,” Trump said tersely when asked about the cash that Michael Cohen doled out to Daniels just days before the 2016 election.

When pressed about why Cohen made the large payment, Trump deferred all queries to his lawyer.

“You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen,” he said. “Michael is my attorney. You’ll have to ask Michael.”

It was the president’s first acknowledgment of the scandal that has haunted him for weeks.

Daniels claims she had an affair with the president in 2006.

She recently appeared on “60 Minutes” where she revealed the dirty details, including that she was “threatened” by a person who told her to leave Trump alone.
