donald trump indicates he is not concerned, but he is clearly angry about the fbi and michael cullen.to as donald trump's for personal, but he was more. it was a fixer who prided himself on making donald trump's problems disappear. and on this tape that was recorded about two months before the election in 2016, they are discussing one of those issues. karen mckibbin will had sold her story to the national enquiry at newspaper. they seem to be discussing on the recording buying the rights of the story which would it being made public and, if that was done to stop an embarrassing story from emerging during an election campaign, it could breach finance laws. donald trump insists no such posters was made, but at the same time there was a change of attitude coming from michael cullen. this is a man who once said that he would take a bullet for donald trump. there has been appointed statement from his lawyers in which they say that their client will not be halved by what is on this tape. —— cohen. but they said that no of spin will change what was said. the us director of national intellige

michael cullen knows where all the bodies are buried. he is being at for things like a medallion business, a taxi medallion business. and he has been in donald trump's dirt for decades now and he ran a real estate company in the city where i am sure, you can go back to the campaign and that came out about how he built atlantic city and what he did here with soho trump towers with the russians, there are a lot of things that went on that were not aboveboard. so he's an incredibly valuable asset. >> harris: michael cohen has not been charged with anything. so what would the point being to put pressure on somebody who's close to the president? >> kennedy: this is one of those fantasies that democrats like to manufacture that the president is going to wake up in an impulsive twitter fit an and pardon everyone was a friend of his or one day might be convicted of something. a series of 70,000 preemptive pardons and this sort of baseless hysteria and that gets this not only so sidetracked that gets us fighting about really stupid things when we

paying former playboy model coloring book to his current lawyer confirms payments were discussed with cullen but says they would have made a white house correspondent kimberly health report. this recording seems to reveal the president discussing with his personal attorney michael cohen the payment of money in the form of check fully one hundred fifty thousand dollars this is problematic for the president given that he has denied he ever had an affair with karen mcdougal the playboy model the white house saying this was fake news and that the president never had such a relationship the recording seems to contradict that statement of course the president at the time of this alleged affair also married with an infant son certainly problematic on a personal level so this really brings up the question of what the president knew and when he knew it it's also a concern given the fact that there is a separate investigation that is ongoing in all of this and that is the one being conducted by robert muller the special counsel well these two investigations are separate the one into michael cohen trum

as we all know, donald trump's former personal lawyer michael cullen is under investigation for a rangeud. during a raid they went to his officers and federal authorities seized a lot of evidence and information from his office. now, it seems one of the things they took was a tape recording, and suggestions from the wall street journal say that it is a short conversation, this tape, something like two minutes, and it also ends midconversation. what it appears to have donald trump and michael cohen discussing them potentially buying the rights to a story of karen dougal, from the national enquirer magazine. but the national enquirer had bought this story from a former playboy model, who claims that a decade before mr trump ran for president that she had an affair with him, an affair that lasted a number of months. the national enquirer bought this story, however, they did not publish it. and the magazine is owned by a personal friend of donald trump. it has led to claims in the us that it is what is known as catch and kill. effectively they take a story and they suffered being published.
