On Wednesday the newest member of President Trump’s personal legal team, former Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, made headlines, as reported by The News Blender, when he told Fox News host Sean Hannity, that President Trump paid Michael Cohen back, the $130,000 that was paid, according to Cohen “out of his own pocket,” to Stormy Daniels:

President Trump also states, he did not change his story on Stormy Daniels Payment and would love to speak to Mueller if treated fairly:
Trump says he has not changed his story on Stormy Daniels and chastises reporters for "bringing up that kind of crap": "We're not changing any stories. All I'm telling you is that this country is, right now, running so smooth" https://t.co/1YWwcVavDS
