Trump's lawyer confirms payment of equity funds to porn star
In a show in one of a well-known channel, Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Roy Cohn revealed that he used his funds from his own home equity line to make a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
He even added, "The funds were taken from my home equity line and transferred internally to my LLC account in the same bank."
He even confirmed that he used his own email account to communicate regarding the payment transfer to Stephanie Clifford ( the adult film star), who recently alleged that she has an affair with the US Prez.
This revelation came after Clifford's lawyer, Michael Avenatti, provided an email to the news channel which confirmed that amount was transferred.
Besides, the deposit was confirmed to Cohen by a First Republic Bank employee.
It was the first time the White House had admitted the President was involved in any way with Clifford. Earlier, Clifford filed suit against Trump, alleging that he never signed a hush agreement regarding the alleged affair and therefore the agreement is void.
