WASHINGTON — The Latest on President Donald Trump and money paid to porn actress Stormy Daniels (all times local):2:55 p.m.White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says President Donald Trump “eventually learned” that attorney Michael Cohen was reimbursed for making a $130,000 hush payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels in the days before the 2016 election. Sanders is referring specific questions about the case to Trump’s legal counsel and referring other questions to attorney Rudy Giuliani’s recent interviews. Giuliani said in televised interviews that Trump didn’t know the full details of the payments until about 10 days ago. Sanders says her “first awareness” of the president reimbursing the $130,000 payment came during Giuliani’s interview Wednesday night. In reaction to Giuliani’s remarks, Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said Trump evidently participated in a felony and that there must be serious consequences for his conduct.
