I wonder if this is front page in the right wing owned media...

Stormy Daniels says she would 'love' to testify against Trump and is ready to tell Manhattan prosecutors 'everything I know'


Quote:
Stormy Daniels told CNN she would "love" to testify against Trump in a NY state investigation.
She added that she would tell prosecutors "everything I know" about Trump's $130,000 hush-money payment to her.
Daniels said she's been in touch with investigators about "other issues" but not this investigation specifically.
Sign up for the 10 Things in Politics daily newsletter.
The adult film actress Stormy Daniels told CNN on Monday that she would "love" to testify against former President Donald Trump in an ongoing New York state investigation into his business dealings.


"I would love nothing more than my day in court and to give a deposition and to provide whatever evidence that they need from me," she said on CNN's "New Day."

"I would tell them everything I know," Daniels said. "I would tell them that I was approached," and that "I have evidence that the money came from an account set up by Donald Trump or at the direction of Donald Trump."

Daniels was referring to a $130,000 hush-money payment that Trump and his then-lawyer Michael Cohen facilitated during the 2016 election in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump in the mid-2000s.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple felony counts in connection to that payment, including campaign-finance violations, tax evasion, and wire fraud. Prosecutors revealed in December of that year that Cohen had said he acted specifically at Trump's direction when he broke the law.

"In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1," they said in a court filing.

Now, prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office are investigating whether the Trump Organization violated state laws when it coordinated the payment. Daniels told CNN on Monday that while she's been in touch with prosecutors to discuss "other issues," investigators have not contacted her about the DA's probe into the Trump Organization.

Her lawyer, Clark Brewster, has been "very forthcoming with my willingness to participate," Daniels added.

Gee why isn't trump suing the was it 20-30 females who all said he had sexually molested or raped them. Mush more serious than Mary Trump giving her documents to the media about trump criminal activities of taxpayer theft.

Note he said when running he would sue anyone not telling the truth. Well Mary told the truth, and he is suing her. So we can assume all the others were telling the truth because he is not suing them or Michael Cohen.

Michael Cohen claims Trump took Stormy Daniels hush-money payment as a tax deduction


Quote:
WASHINGTON, DC — Michael Cohen's new book Revenge: How Donald Trump Weaponized the US Department of Justice Against His Critics dropped this week and details some of the shocking ways that the former president used the government to try and silence people like Cohen.


Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, Cohen described the shocking and bizarre tactics the Southern District of New York forced him to plead guilty to crimes he never committed. According to Cohen, they threatened to arrest his wife. A dedicated family man, Cohen was terrified and agreed to whatever they said, wanting nothing more than to protect his wife and children.

Now that his sentence is over, he's fighting back, and telling all about Donald Trump and the way in which the Department of Corrections and the Justice Department were all weaponized to bring him down.

IN OTHER NEWS: Michael Cohen hands the DOJ some advice as they try to track down Trump's missing documents


Cohen explained that the indictment was so absurd it even makes him the bagman for the payments to Karen McDougal, who was actually paid off by David Pecker at the National Enquirer. It was widely reported and well-known, but somehow Pecker escaped any accountability and Cohen became the one who "paid her off."

"Donald should have been there, Don Jr. should have been there, Eric, Ivanka, they should have been there," Cohen said about going to prison.

He went on to say that he thinks part of it was also a test of loyalty to see the degree to which he would take the fall for Trump. At the same time that the president was threatening to destroy his wife and family, Trump was also claiming that they would help him and take care of him.

"It was also partially a test, a test of my loyalty to him, my undivided loyalty that I would take the rap for him," Cohen told Wallace. "Don't worry, we'll be there, you know, you have people as Bob Costello had written, friends in high places. They are going to take care of you. That's the M.O. that he claims. That's the same thing that he said to a bunch of these insurrectionists. Don't worry. I'm going to pay your legal fees. He doesn't pay for anything and he doesn't care what happens to them. This is all about showing that he is exonerated from the entire Russia scandal, that they would be exonerated from Stormy Daniels and then Karen McDougal."

"I got charged and I pled guilty and I was fined by the court despite the fact that they all knew — prosecutors, the judge, everyone, I never paid Karen McDougal," Cohen continued.


Cohen claims the only involvement he had with McDougal was looking at the paperwork that Pecker was giving her for the agreement. The comment implies that somewhere, there exists a document for the employment of Karen McDougal at the National Enquirer.

Raw Story reached out to Cohen after the interview and he noted that one of the things that he didn't tell Wallace is that Trump took the Stormy Daniels payment as a tax write-off. According to the ex-Trump lawyer, Trump declared it as a "retainer" for "legal fees."

Trump has said in the past that he's under audit by the IRS. All presidents, while in office, have their taxes audited by the IRS as well. The current IRS Commissioner, Charles P. Rettig is an appointee of Donald Trump's. But at the time, David Kautter was serving as the acting commissioner to the IRS that Trump's taxes would have been scrutinized over the hush-money payments to Daniels.

"So, how does SDNY in your view conduct itself in a way that lacks integrity and attachment to the truth and then fail to ever investigate Trump's businesses?" Wallace asked.

"Why go after the king when you can go after the joker?" Cohen quipped.


At the time that Cohen was targeted, Matthew Whitaker was serving as the acting Attorney General before Bill Barr took over. So, Whitaker was overseeing the federal prosecutors and the Department of Corrections.

When Cohen was prosecuted in late 2018, the SDNY was headed up by Geoffrey Berman, who recently published the book Holding the Line which largely glosses over all of the accusations that Cohen has made.

You can see the clip of Cohen speaking to Wallace below. Raw Story will have full coverage of Cohen's new book, Revenge.

I hear some news that the Stormy payoff might be an issue again. WTF is wrong with the prosecutors, why haven't they including Barr not prosecuted him for this. Garland as I have said should have been removed from the get go as he just is allowing clear crimes to go un punished.


Sexual predator and Pedophile Trump clearly admitted he was committing adultery while his wife was pregnant with a porn star with his NDA/confidentiality agreement she signed and received payment for her silence and he tried to enforce.

He did not ever say Cohen was lying and/or pardon him. So he agreed Cohen did set up and negotiate on his behalf a fee to keep her silent. Cohen went to jail for. And Pedophile signed the checks as well as his other people like his kids.

Next it appears this was also tax fraud the way it was paid for as well as election fraud.

Adultery (while it may still be a crime in some states) would be pretty
unenforceable in its use just due to the shear volume it would put in
prisons, and it's certainly not a crime in California (even when your spouse
is pregnant). Reprehensible, probably, but that's going nowhere
for litigation. And ....it's not illegal to create a contract like Trump's
payoff to Stormy. It is in fact illegal to go public when you contracted
to remain silent.

If Trump paid for that with campaign funds it is fraud for sure, and if brought
up and convicted, Trump should go to Jail (or in our system he could probably pay out).

It's also a crime if reported as a business expense.

And then there is the matter of taste--but we already know fat Donny has none.

Agreed,

Frankly, I'd like to see Republican candidates with some integrity, but neither
that nor taste, (nor apparently intelligence) appears to be part of the
requirement for candidacy.

can you tell that to Cohen.... Already convicted including election fraud ... and did time and he is a lawyer.

It is not illegal when contracted by a NDA to violate it,,, it is just a violation of the agreement which in general has a penalty clause which is only monetary.

Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty In Manhattan Federal Court To Eight Counts, Including Criminal Tax Evasion And Campaign Finance Violations
Plea Follows Filing of Eight Count Criminal Information Alleging Concealment of More Than $4 Million in Unreported Income, $280,000 in Unlawful Campaign Contributions
Robert Khuzami, Attorney for the United States, Acting Under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, William F. Sweeney Jr., the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and James D.

The plea was entered followed the filing of an eight-count criminal information, which alleged that COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the IRS, made false statements to a federally-insured financial institution in connection with a $500,000 home equity loan, and, in 2016, caused $280,000 in payments to be made to silence two women who otherwise planned to speak publicly about their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate, thereby intending to influence the 2016 presidential election. COHEN pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III.

No need to "tell that to Cohen". He is a lawyer and understands his
conviction for Tax Evasion exactly as you posted it. So do I (and
I'm not a lawyer)

You said "Trump admitted to adultery" and indeed he may have, but them
ain't convicting words. Your intent to encourage Trump's conviction on
adultery is waste of effort, and an almost Trump like
diversion from where focus should really be (fraud for example). If we
convicted Presidents on adultery (or anyone else) there would be a lot more
people crowding the already crowded prison system.

I think prosecution should stay focused on laws broken for which a
conviction is possible like when you pay your personal contract fees with
campaign money and then claim them as a business expense.

was not looking for a conviction of adultery, just adds a more favorable influence with the jury when they know why he did not want it known by the public to effect people voting for him. He certainly did not pay it so his wife of kids would not know what a scum he is, they do not care because they are beholden financially to the sugar daddy. So I would actually charge him with it (if it is a crime) so they could bring on how many sexual escapades he was involved in. Tear those NDAs down... Get them admitted and voided to show a pattern if he denies it, pring up the pedophile lawsuit against him for raping a 13 year old. .

cohen was convicted of campaign finance violations is the one trump was involved in. He did apparently offer cohen via his lawyers a pardon if he would just keep his mouth shut, at the get go. But Cohen spilled the beans. So no pardon, So in essence because trump let him go to jail for campaign finance violations on his behalf he is admitting that a crime was committed. And grade school prosecutor should be crystal clear on that and Barr and the new idiot Garland should have taken action on it. Neither did obviously.
