Trump admits reimbursing sex-case att’y

PRESIDENT TRUMP directly contradicted himself Thursday, as he admitted for the first time that he reimbursed his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 hush payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The stunning admission, which was delivered in a string of morning tweets, repeated some of what former Mayor Rudy Giuliani told Fox News the night before.

“Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a nondisclosure agreement,” Trump tweeted, referring to a contract that bars Daniels from publicly discussing claims she had sex with Trump at a Lake Tahoe hotel in 2006.

Trump said “these agreements are very common among celebrities and people of wealth,” and insisted the pact was facilitated to “stop the false and extortionist accusations” made by Daniels. The adult film actress is suing Trump for defamation.

Also Thursday, NBC News reported that federal investigators logged the phone calls of Cohen in the weeks before they raided his Manhattan home, office and hotel room last month.

It’s unclear what information was uncovered from the log of phone calls known as a “pen register.”

NBC News initially reported the feds had wiretapped Cohen and intercepted at least one phone call between the longtime Trump fixer and the White House.

But hours later, the news channel corrected the story to say investigators did not obtain a wiretap, but rather a call log.

Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s legal team and has been on a media blitz over the past 24 hours, argued that reports of a phone tap were bogus.

“We don’t believe it’s true. I keep hearing different stories from different sources,” Giuliani told the Daily News.

A former Manhattan U.S. attorney, Giuliani railed against federal prosecutors in the Cohen case.
