The White House and Michael Cohen have spent weeks declining to answer a basic question: Was President Trump involved in the $130,000 hush-money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels? Part of the reason for the delay could be that it might undermine the nondisclosure agreement Daniels signed. The contract appears to bind DD and grant him rights.”Michael Cohen's attorney just claimed on @OutFrontCNN that Trump was not aware of the Stormy Daniels agreement or the payment, which means that there was no contract between Trump and Daniels, and Daniels can release the materials. Perhaps the White House simply wanted to keep quiet and hope that this whole thing would go away (wrong!). The person who is denying Trump was involved is a lawyer for a party to an agreement who says Trump wasn't involved in that agreement.
