- Denis Slattery and Chris Sommerfeld­t

BUT HIS emails! President Trump’s personal lawyer used his Trump Organizati­on email account while setting up a $130,000 payment to a porn star claiming she had an affair with the President a decade ago.

Attorney Michael Cohen, who claims he paid adult film star Stormy Daniels out of his own pocket, correspond­ed with First Republic Bank about the payment using his Trump email account.

The email, dated Oct. 26, 2016 — days ahead of the election — was sent to Cohen by an assistant to First Republic Bank senior managing director Gary Farro.

The email, obtained by the Daily News, appears to have been a reply to Cohen.

“RE: First Republic Bank Transfer,” is in the subject line and the message confirmed that “the funds have been deposited into your checking account.”

The next day, Cohen wired money from First Republic to the City National Bank account of lawyer Keith Davidson, who was representi­ng Daniels (photo) at the time.

“The $130,000 question, however, is from whose account was the money transferre­d on Oct. 26, 2016,” Daniels’ current lawyer Michael Avenatti told NBC.
