It just makes Trump a liar... nothing new.
Donald Trump and his legal team — led in part by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — just left the liberal “witch hunt” of the president scrambling for answers.
Trump reimbursed his personal lawyer for $130,000 in money paid to porn actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election, Giuliani said Wednesday. The mainstream media jumped on the story, saying that it appears to contradict the president’s past claims that he didn’t know the source of the money.

They were wrong.
In fact, the whole exchange actually left Trump exonerated — because it completely killed the idea the payment was financed by the Trump campaign, the reasoning behind Special Counsel Robert Mueller-inspired FBI raid on Michael Cohen’s office. It also hurts Daniels’ case, because her lawyer had claimed the payment Cohen made to her was financed illegally.
During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Giuliani said the money to repay Michael Cohen had been “funneled … through the law firm and the president repaid it.”
Asked if Trump knew about the arrangement, Giuliani said: “He didn’t know about the specifics of it, as far as I know. But he did know about the general arrangement, that Michael would take care of things like this, like I take care of things like this for my clients. I don’t burden them with every single thing that comes along. These are busy people.”
