Michael Cohen was in close contact with Donald Trump in 2016 as he arranged for hush-money payments to women who said they’d had affairs with the future president, according to court documents released Thursday.

An affidavit, used to obtain court approval for searches of Cohen’s properties more than a year ago, cites phone records showing frequent communication between the two men as Cohen scrambled to enact the illegal scheme shortly before the 2016 election.after prosecutors said they had finished their review of the payments that were aimed at preventing the women from revealing their claims of sexual affairs with Trump.

According to the affidavit, Hicks told an FBI agent that she did not learn about allegations involving Trump’s affair with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels until November 2016. But phone records show her in close contact with Cohen at critical times before the election. For example, within the same hour, Cohen talked separately with Hicks, Trump and executives at American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer and assisted in the scheme, according to the documents.

“Why is Michael Cohen — after all his voluntary cooperation and testimony that Mr. Mueller said was credible and went to ‘core issues’ and all the information and documents he voluntarily provided to prosecutors and to Congress — the only member of the Trump company to be prosecuted and imprisoned?” said Lanny Davis, a spokesman for Cohen.

And lest we forget...

The headline should be. Investigators close case on hush “money scandal”, no criminal activity on the part of Trump and no charges filed. But I guess that doesn’t fit the narrative.

The ShitShow rag of the will print this nothingburger BS! But it refuses to print & willfully protects all of it’s PedoWood & RapeyWood cronies who commit real crimes against women & children. EnemyOfThePeople FakeNewsCNN MAGA BuildTheWall Winning

Not suprising .

We know that the nat'l news didn't cover the fact that someone close to Obama offered $100K money to Rev Wright for him to 'hush' up prior to the 2008 election & that when he didn't take it Obama showed up at his door to demand his silence. If he'd taken the $ would that be news?

Crazy to be in contact with your attorney.

Who really cares? The people suffer from weather calamities, face earthquakes, scramble to pay medical costs while paying exuberant money for good quality education for kids and we're supposed to pay attention to this?

That’s outrageous that someone would be in contact with their lawyer.

So what? Where the heck LAT was Clinton was saved by his party loyalists in the Senate?

Bernie Sanders : 'I support the replacement of political parties and elections by the creation of permanent US citizens' assemblies elected by lot for a limited period, entitling them to compensatory allowances and training for taking up their duties. To become a citizen '

Must be Fake News. Hopes told press, 'she didn't know about any such payments.' realDonaldTrump took similar position. Oops this is actual evidence gathered from email and telephone conversations.

No one cares about the president's sex life.
