Rudy Giuliani has said that Donald Trump re-paid Michael Cohen $130,000 after the personal attorney made the initial hush money payment to a porn star who claims to have had an affair with the president over a decade ago. Giuliani made the statement during an interview with Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel late Wednesday. Cohen faces a criminal probe into his business affairs by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, including over the $130,000 payment, which he has called legal. Now Trump claims the payment was an ordinary legal expense – part of the costs covered by a monthly retainer agreement between him and Cohen. The latest claim from the White House drew mocking criticism from Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti, who told the 'Morning Joe' hosts on MSNBC that 'they're not thinking this through. We've been playing three-dimensional chess, they've been playing tic-tac-toe.' Giuliani said Thursday morning that the payoff's purpose was to save the Trump's marriage, not to save the president's campaign But he suggested that a bombshell claim from Daniels would have disastrous consequences for the president's political prospects. 'Imagine if that came out on October 15, 2016, in the middle of the last debate with Hillary Clinton,' he said.
