Cohen testifying about Trump Tower doorman's phony Trump 'love child' story
By Kyle Schnitzer
Michael Cohen testified that Donald Trump told him to take care of a story that circulated about Trump having fathered a "love child."
"I spoke, I went to him immediately to advise him that there was a story because it was a negative story for him and to get his direction on what he wanted me to do," Cohen said.
"He told me to make sure that the story doesn’t get out — 'You handle it,'" Cohen added.
Cohen then testified about the deal that the National Enquirer had arranged to own the story.
“They were going to pay $30,000. They were executing an agreement with the doorman in order to obtain the life rights of this story," Cohen testified.
When asked by prosecutors whether the life rights meant to publish or not publish the story, Cohen said to "not publish the story" and "to take it off the market."
