WaPo and others who put up the Trump legal team’s version of the transcript need to look at it again. Seems clear to me that Trump’s team inserted “[UNINTELLIGIBLE]” in several places to create the appearance of ambiguity even though the audio is clear. washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
For example, as many of pointed out, Trump clearly says “Pam” early on. Later in the audio, Trump’s female aide clearly identifies Richard LeFrak (the NY real estate developer who’s close to Trump) 2x over.
In the section everyone’s focused on, I hear Trump’s remarks as something stronger than how the Trump legal team transcribed them.

TRUMP: Listen. What financing?

COHEN: Well, I have to pay him some—

TRUMP: No, pay with cash.

Hear it for yourself: cnn.com/2018/07/24/pol…
Also, the “...check” part I would have marked unintelligible. It’s too fragmentary to even know if it’s a whole word. In any event, I think some more professional and more objective transcription is warranted.
