Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said Wednesday that President Trump reimbursed his personal attorney Michael Cohen the $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about their alleged affair.
Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s legal team, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that the payment was “perfectly legal†and was “not campaign money,†meaning the arrangement didn’t violate campaign finance law.
“Funneled through a law firm, and the president repaid it,†Giuliani said.
"He didn’t know about the specifics of it but he did know about the general arrangement, that Michael would take care of things like this," he said.
Cohen has said that he made the payment, but that it was made with money out of his own pocket.
Trump admitted that he knew about the arrangement with Daniels during an interview with Fox & Friends last month.
