Rudy Giuliani told NBC News that President Trump “only recently found out that he reimbursed his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement with adult performer Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election.”
Said Giuliani: “I don’t think the president realized he paid him back for that specific thing until we made him aware of the paperwork.”
Giuliani said the president responded: “Oh my goodness, I guess that’s what it was for.”
