🚨 BUSTED: Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Trump 2 months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who had a longtime affair with Trump.

Rudy Giuliani confirmed that Trump had discussed the payments with Michael Cohen on the tape but the payment was never made and that the recording, seized during the FBI raid on Cohen, is less than 2 minutes & proves Trump did nothing wrong [lol].
#Maddow
Rudy Giuliani laughably claims that the taped conversation between Trump & Michael Cohen – in which they discuss payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal who began a yearlong affair with Trump right after his wife Melania gave birth to their son – exonerates Trump.
#Maddow
“I can’t believe Michael would do this to me,” Trump said when told of the secret recording of he and Cohen discussing hush payments to his ex-LOVER, Karen McDougal. [per @GloriaBorger @DanaBashCNN]
#Maddow
Giuliani said Trump had no idea he was being recorded by Cohen during their McDougal chat, which took place in the then-candidate's office at Trump Tower in Sep 2016.
WOW. Cohen secretly recorded LIVE discussions with Trump – not just phone calls.
#Maddow cnn.it/2zWaRGj
There are other tapes of Cohen & "powerful" individuals beyond Trump – people of "significance & consequence" – seized by the FBI that could be embarrassing for the people on the tape and for Cohen, according to a source familiar with the tapes.
#Maddow
OH!: Michael Cohen secretly recorded he & Trump discussing a payment to AMI – NOT Karen McDougal – a month after AMI paid McDougal the $150 hush payment, which PROVES Trump KNEW about the hush agreement between AMI & his ex-lover, Karen McDougal.
#Maddow
UPDATE: In secret recording seized by FBI, Trump & Cohen discussed buying rights to Playboy model Karen McDougal's account of her affair with Trump to better “control” the story. “I think we need to bring this in-house.”

THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

Trump’s former longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, discussing plea deal in tax fraud case with prosecutors in NY federal court.

This is *separate* from any deal Cohen might have made with Mueller for cooperation in the #TrumpRussia investigation.

THREAD: What legal questions are raised by the secret recording Michael Cohen reportedly made of a conversation with Trump two months before the election about payments to a Playboy model?
1/ Today @mattapuzzo, @nytmike, and @maggieNYT of @nytimes reported that the FBI seized a recording made by @MichaelCohen212 of his then-client Donald Trump discussing payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal two months before the election. nytimes.com/2018/07/20/us/…
2/ This is an obvious problem for Trump and Cohen because Cohen is under investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan for his payments on behalf of Trump, among other things. Cohen is reportedly under investigation for campaign finance violations and bank fraud.
