President Trump's newest legal adviser, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, shocked White House allies on Wednesday when he admitted in a televised appearance that President Trump reimbursed his personal attorney for the $130,000 payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Giuliani's astonishing admission — that Trump "funneled" $35,000 payments to Michael Cohen through a law firm — came during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, who himself seemed stunned by what the former federal prosecutor had to say.
"Oh. I didn’t know that," Hannity responded.
The interview carried on for several minutes, during which Giuliani revealed that Trump was familiar with "the general arrangement" between Cohen and Daniels, that the president paid Cohen back over a "period of several months," and that the money Daniels received did not come from the Trump campaign's coffers.
