Porn star pay denial
US President Donald Trump has said he didn’t know about the $130,000 payment his personal attorney made to Stormy Daniels, issuing a firm denial in his first public comments about the adult-film actress who alleges she had an affair with him.
Asked aboard Air Force One whether he knew about the payment, Mr Trump said flatly: “No.” He also said he didn’t know why his lawyer, Michael Cohen, made the payment.
“You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney. You’ll have to ask Michael,” he said. THE daughter of a former Russian spy poisoned by a nerve agent said in her first public comment that she’s recovering even as the international furore over the attack intensified, with Russia claiming intelligence services of other countries were probably behind it.
Britain’s UN Ambassador Karen Piece shot back that Russia has come up with 24 theories on who bears responsibility for the poisoning of an ex-spy and his daughter in England, but the UK has only one – that it’s highly likely Russia was responsible.
Yulia Skripal, 33, said in a statement released by British police that her “strength is growing daily” and she expressed gratitude to those who came to her aid when she and her father, Sergei, were found unconscious on a bench a month ago.
“I am sure you appreciate that the entire episode is somewhat disorientating, and I hope that you’ll respect my privacy and that of my family,” she said.
The Salisbury hospital confirmed Yulia’s health has improved, while her father, Sergei, remains in a critical condition.
