    If their allegations of affairs became public, the president’s former personal attorney said in an exclusive interview with ABC News.


    Cohen’s comments are his first since being sentenced earlier this week to three years in federal prison for financial crimes, lying to Congress and two campaign finance violations in connection with the deals with the women, Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, who claim past affairs with Trump.


    “I knew what I was doing was wrong,” Cohen told ABC News’ Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.


    “I stood up before the world [Wednesday] and I accepted the responsibility for my actions.”

In addition to Cohen, David Pecker has substantiated the reason the payment to Karen McDougal was made by 'AMI' ie: David Pecker. There is also an audio of Trump agreeing to the payment. The timing of the payment in Sept. 2016 was most definitely to squash the story just weeks before the election. If in fact, the money was paid to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to protect Melania and the Trump family, Trump would have paid those women off 10 years earlier, not a couple weeks before the election.Another thing that came out months ago is that both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal both used Keith Davidson for legal counsel. Is this merely a coincidence? Keith Davidson worked with David Pecker to pay McDougal for a 'catch and kill' story story for the National Enquirer. Previously unreported are the allegations, made by prosecutors, that Davidson worked with the National Enquirer to also catch and kill Daniels’ story.Here's how it went in the beginning with the Stephanie Clifford and Karen McDougal payoffs. Both of them had an attorney representing them, coincidentally both had the same attorney Keith Davidson. Another coincidence is that Keith Davidson, Michael Cohen and David Pecker were all previously associated with each other. It’s perhaps noteworthy that Davidson was suspended by the California State Bar in 2010 for three months over a number of blown filing deadlines and missed court appearances. Davidson filed a defamation lawsuit in June 2018 in response to claims made by Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti that he was a "puppet" for Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen and had been working with them behind her back. In the lawsuit, Davidson alleged Avenatti and Daniels had made "countless reckless and false statements" about him that were affecting his reputation. He included a tweet by Avenatti that accused him of acting unethically. Davidson also denied working with Cohen and said his communication with the president's attorney was only in the interest of Daniels. He said both she and her manager, Gina Rodriguez, repeatedly asked him to reach out to Cohen. Davidson's conduct, and his relationship with Cohen, has been questioned by others he represented. Two other women who alleged affairs with Trump also have accused Davidson of working with Cohen to silence them. Keith Davidson dropped his defamation lawsuit in September 2018 for reasons unknown.
    Cohen also said the hush money payments were personal for Trump. He also said this on national tv.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

The money was paid because if the news got out of the hush money to a Playboy Playmate and porn star just weeks after the Access Hollywood tape was released, he was afraid it would affect his numbers in the election. That's just a fact and that's what makes it illegal. If it was a payoff of hush money to protect the family from embarrassment it would have been paid out to these women 10 years earlier, when it actually occurred.
    Willingly paying someone to remain silent about an affair is not a crime.

    Everyone knew new exactly who Trump was during the campaign season.

    And of course you ignore the most important part; .......... "Stephanopoulos follows up. “To help the campaign,” Stephanopoulos remarks, and Cohen responds, “To help him — and the campaign.” ............ Cohen admits to personal (wife/family) reasons.

    The Russia chickenhawks saw that collusion was going nowhere so now they have to turn to a convicted liar who is a registered Democrat for testimony. Lol Democrooks are pathetic.

    The Democrat Cohen failed!

    It does not matter. It is a shiny object. Nothing more. Russian collusion did not happen. Every day we grow closer to a hot civil war. I am surprised no one has been killed yet. There are plenty of coup supporters in the news.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Intelligence is not a friend to illiberals and they know it.
