This Giuliani interview is something else. Wonder if Emmet Flood is watching.
Every third thing Giuliani said is either obviously wrong on the law or on the facts, so, he’s not doing much better than Sekulow’s average interview.
Yikes.
*blink*
SO, THIS HAPPENED: Rudy Giuliani Says Trump Repaid Michael Cohen For The Stormy Daniels Hush Money buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
Avenatti weighs in: buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
This "follow up" makes no sense — and is backing everyone into a corner somehow. Was Cohen acting alone, paying out of his own money, and was later repaid, or was it an authorized settlement, in which case Cohen wouldn't have paid it out of his own funds in the first place?
Oof.
This was planned, Giuliani tells @costareports —>
Loans! They still need to be reported!
Returning to the idea that Rudy "says they discussed his revelation of the reimbursements long in advance." If so, why wouldn't they have told Hannity to help him prepare better? He had to come back to the topic to try and "clarify" things, unsuccessfully.
Giuliani tells me Trump agreed to pay Cohen $35,000 a month over a year-long period that began in the 1st quarter of 2017 & carried into 2018. That is how the $130K was repaid, Giuliani says, adding, "I'm almost certain that there wasn't an itemized bill." buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
More coming from my interview with Giuliani shortly.
UPDATE: Read my interview with Rudy Giuliani about what the heck he was saying in that Sean Hannity interview about Trump repaying Michael Cohen for his payment to Stormy Daniels. buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
Giuliani tell me that it “clearly was a payment to reimburse expenses" — while acknowledging, “I’m almost certain that there wasn’t an itemized bill.” buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
Calling it "a payment to remove personal embarrassment to Melania [Trump]," Giuliani told me of the 2016 payment to Stormy Daniels: “I don't think they thought about it as a campaign thing” — although he acknowledged that others might disagree. buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/r…
