Trump changes story about hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels
  • 6 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump has changed his story about a 130-thousand-dollar hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels, with whom he's accused of having an affair.
In a series of Thursday morning tweets, Trump said his lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid Daniels the hush money, was reimbursed for the payment during the 2016 presidential campaign.
But Trump said the money did not come from campaign funds, which would be illegal.
The tweets came after Trump's new lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that Trump reimbursed Cohen with his own money.
Trump also remained adamant there was no affair with Daniels and said the non-disclosure agreement was to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her.
His comments contradict his previous remarks in which he said he had no knowledge of the payment to Daniels.
