CDN: Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump‘s former lawyer, allegedly secretly recorded a conversation where the two discussed one or more payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to a New York Times article. But, much to the dismay of the Times’ fanbase, the tape is likely inadmissible as evidence and appears to exonerate, rather than incriminate, the president.
President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.
The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.
The problem with all this hyperventilating over a recording is that it is almost surely inadmissible as evidence and any new evidence gained because of the recording would also be useless to prosecutors as it would be “fruit of the poisonous tree.” more here
Seems that bringing this out was just meant to humiliate the president and it’s all they dug up.
They must have rusty skills since in the past eight years all their time was spent covering up Obama’s deviant past.
Yeah but it was sex and stuff! And he might have lied about it! Bill should have paid Monica more than an intern fee. Didnt even give Juanita an ice cube. Oh, and all that was in office…….but TRUMP!
Our President has known some beautiful women.
Deflection from the Dem pedos in the news.
They don’t care, just like the false accusations about Romney’s taxes. Speaking of which, why is the Left still on about Trump’s tax returns? Do they doubt he’s a billionaire? Or do they think he has committed tax fraud? Which would mean Obama’s IRS failed to catch him…
In the 2 minute conversation Trump told Cohen if he were to pay her anything (which he didn’t) to pay by check and not cash. Trump wanted a check for documentation should she try to violate a non-disclosure that she’d be required to sign.
This supposed relationship took place in 2006 when Trump was making headlines as a billionaire playboy (much like Clooney, DiCaprio and Pitt).
Would someone trying to cover up anything demand payment by check?
Oh dear, a president who gets laid. And this time by women. Hide the children.
Not to mention, according to current lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Trump says in the recording (and I’m paraphrasing) “If we make this payment, make sure it’s a check so we have a paper trail.”
Do you REALLY want a paper trail if you’re committing a crime???
poor melania.. now she knows donnie was lying to her (shocker)
Apparently this 2 min recording wasn’t even about paying the WOMAN but buying the story from National Enquirer.
They decided not to do it.
More NOTHINGBURGER and LIES.
Notice how every bomb they lob at Trump is smaller and further off target than the previous projectile. I reckon it keeps troll morale up, though. They’re pretty gullible.
To the childish OCD one-track-minded troll. ‘putinaide’? Really? *eyeroll* How original. Does Melania even look like the type who would take any shit from anybody, including her husband? No. She doesn’t. If you look at her background, she will get on your case in a hurry.
I say Trump should give the OK to release the tape. As a matter of fact, he should release ALL documents regarding the dossier ‘investigation’ and the DNC scam against bernie sanders. It would suit us fine.
Thirdtwin- Trump derangement is all they have to live for. Funny thing is, they’re being trolled by the Dems. It’s pretty funny.
Poor little gnats that they are.
