Steinglass shows Trump’s filing w/the federal government’s Office of Government #Ethics in May 2018 that revealed #Trump had made a payment to #MichaelCohen. The filing came days after #RudyGiuliani said on #FoxNews that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the #StormyDaniels payment.
#Blanche cited this same filing as #evidence that Trump had no #intent to #defraud.
“The defendant didn’t actually pay a lawyer, he paid a porn star by funneling money through a lawyer” Steinglass says.
