Look over there — I just scored a diplomatic coup by agreeing to meet with Kim Jong Un after no other American president would! But the tale of Stormy Daniels will not go away that easily
Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney, has tried to downplay Trump’s connection to the $130K hush money payment by claiming he personally made the payment from his own funds and that Trump was not involved (after which he publicly complained that Trump didn’t reimburse him — LOLZ). But Stephanie Clifford’s (aka Stormy Daniels) lawyer has uncovered an email between Michael Cohen and First Republic Bank using Cohen’s Trump Organization email, not his personal gmail account as he has previously claimed. This bolsters the claims that election finance laws have been broken.

Donald Trump's personal attorney used his Trump Organization email while arranging to transfer money into an account at a Manhattan bank before he wired $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence.
The lawyer, Michael Cohen, also regularly used the same email account during 2016 negotiations with the actress — whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford — before she signed a nondisclosure agreement, a source familiar with the discussions told NBC News.
And Clifford's attorney at the time addressed correspondence to Cohen in his capacity at the Trump Organization and as "Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump," the source said.
"I think this document seriously calls into question the prior representation of Mr. Cohen and the White House relating to the source of the monies paid to Ms. Clifford in an effort to silence her," said Avenatti, who is representing Clifford in a lawsuit
