President Trump on Wednesday denied that campaign funds were ever used to arrange hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with him prior to the 2016 presidential election, a day after his personal attorney Michael Cohen told a federal court he made both payments at the direction of then-candidate Trump.
In an interview set to air Thursday, the president told Fox News he knew of the payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal “later on,” but claimed they were not funded by his campaign.
