President Trump’s checks repaying Michael Cohen for hush money, explained
The new checks lay out how Cohen was reimbursed — and then some — for his payoff to Daniels. He was given multiple monthly payments of $35,000 each. “The checks in and of themselves are significant from an evidentiary standpoint, because they provide some corroboration of Michael Cohen’s explanations of what happened,” Erin Chlopak, Co-director of campaign finance strategy at the Campaign Legal Center, said.
