Michael Cohen, corroborating others, says Trump wanted to silence Stormy because of the election
Fox News
American lawyer Michael Cohen's testimony Monday told a familiar story: an attempt to confirm the account of the National Enquirer’s publisher.
But if there’s one line that jumped out at me, it was this: When Trump confided he would soon launch his first campaign in 2015, Cohen says his boss told him: "There’s going to be a lot of women coming forward." That would prove to be prescient. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
And the following year, when Cohen warned Trump that former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal was alleging an affair, the future president’s response was: "She’s very beautiful."
