Sanders attempted to stave off the questions by referring them to Trump's outside lawyers. But she did reveal that -- as far as she's aware -- Trump himself did not know his lawyer Michael Cohen made a payment to Daniels in October 2016 to ensure her silence. "Not that I'm aware of," Sanders said when pressed whether Trump knew about the payment. It was the latest development in the ongoing legal saga involving Cohen, Trump, and Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford. In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, a lawyer for Daniels alleges Trump failed to sign the nondisclosure agreement brokered by Cohen, thereby nullifying it.
