Michael Cohen on Wednesday recalled lying to Melania Trump about the hush money payment he made to Stormy Daniels.
“Not only did I lie to the American people, I lied to the first lady when the President called me, and I was sitting in a car with a friend of mine, and he had me speak to her, and explain to the first lady,” Cohen said during testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
The comment came at the end of an exchange Cohen had with Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), in which Steube tried to undermine Cohen’s claim that he paid Stormy Daniels a $130,000 hush money payment in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump.
The payment, which Trump’s own lawyer confirmed, formed the basis for one of the eight counts to which Cohen pleaded guilty in August last year.

Don’t all honest people have their mob lawyers convince their wives that they’re not having one-night stands with porn stars? What a wimp.
Melania will just say she doesn’t pay attention to people that lie to her.
Hey Melania,
The obvious question is,
Do you care yet???
Probably not. as long as the gravy train keeps rolling
Fun fact (but short story): while he was on a date with his girlfriend at the time, Donald chased after Melania and gave her his #, because she was smart enough to not give him hers.
I have no sympathy for First Lady. She knew what she was getting into when she met DJT. She knew what she was doing when she dated and then married him. She got her Fifth Avenue life style without have to renew her expired visa.
As Chris Rock once said “The tiger didn’t go crazy when it attacked. The tiger went tiger.”
DJT’s stripes were well known. She willingly signed on the dotted line. She’s going to have a nice alimony to retire on providing it’s not all seized.
