The second part of the “60 Minutes†report focused mostly on the nondisclosure agreement that Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney, brokered with Daniels in the final days of the 2016 election campaign.
As part of that deal, Daniels was paid $130,000. Cohen has said he paid the money out of his personal funds. There are questions over whether that payment represented an illegal campaign contribution.
Cohen did not consent to an interview with “60 Minutes†but the media will be sure to keep picking at that thread too, further increasing the chances of the story remaining alive.
This is the important part. Cohen has a lot of explaining to do. The correspondence to the Trump Tower office, with all of the titles, demonstrating his position in the Trump Organization also makes it difficult for him to say he was acting on his own.
