Stormy Daniels meets with prosecutors investigating Trump

You got Amen. No cooking guys. No pushing. No, no, it's me. Sorry. Pardon? good morning, Michael *** lot closer. How do you feel? I feel fine. I feel fine. Uh *** little twisted to be honest, uh, inside It's been *** long time coming five years now. Give or take. What's your goal today? My goal is to tell the truth. My goal is to allow Alvin Bragg and his team to do what they need to do. I'm just here to answer the questions. What do you think the result of your testimony today? What will be the result? Can you imagine Mr Trump being arrested? Is that what you want? No, again, you've heard me say this many times. My goal, this is not revenge. What this is, is about accountability. I don't want to see anyone including Donald Trump, indicted, prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated simply because I fundamentally disagree with them. This is all about accountability. He needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds. What does that mean? Lonnie being held accountable? So let me be very clear. There are lots of labels, lots of political attacks, lots of rants on social media. The one word that Michael Cohen has always told me he wants from the very beginning that I started with him to this very moment. The word is truth and I'll back it up by my own word. Facts. Any time you hear labels about Michael attacks on Michael, just remember we have the facts proven and documented on our side and that's the truth. Do you think Mr Trump will be indicted? I have no idea, but I do know that the facts will be heard and they will be due process and the presumption of innocence will prevail until and if there is *** trial. So just to be clear, you are testifying before the grand jury. That's correct. Yes. Thank you. the end of the process for now, for sure. If in fact, there's an indictment, then what will happen? Of course is I'm sure I'll come back as *** fact witness down the road, but I'd like *** little time for myself and my family. To be honest, we start my own life. Thank you all. Are you with Mike? Have you been here with Mike that you. Right. We'll go file this and then we'll figure out what to do next.

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels met Wednesday with prosecutors who are investigating hush money paid to her on former President Donald Trump's behalf, her lawyer said Wednesday.

The news emerged as Michael Cohen, a former Trump attorney who orchestrated the payment, was giving a second day of testimony before a New York grand jury looking into the matter.

The $130,000 payment was made in 2016, as Trump's first presidential campaign was in its final weeks and Daniels was negotiating to go on television to air her claims of a sexual encounter with him a decade earlier. Cohen made the payment and arranged another payout to a different woman 바카라 게임 웹사이트� at Trump's direction, he says.

Daniels met with and answered questions from Manhattan prosecutors and is willing to be a witness, her attorney, Clark Brewster, tweeted. The adult film actor tweeted her thanks to him for "helping me in our continuing fight for truth and justice."

The Manhattan district attorney's office declined to comment.

Later Wednesday, Cohen emerged from what he expected to be his final day of testimony. He said he would continue to provide prosecutors "any information and any cooperation that they need."

Now estranged from Trump, Cohen said he isn't out for vindication or revenge.

"This is not about him. This is about holding accountability, truth to power, and everything else in between," Cohen said.

Daniels has said she had a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump that she didn't want, but didn't say no to. Trump says it never happened. The former president's current lawyer said Trump was invited to testify before the grand jury but has no plans to do so.

Federal prosecutors in 2018 charged Cohen with campaign finance crimes related to payments to Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, arguing that the payouts amounted to impermissible gifts to Trump's election effort.

McDougal, who was paid $150,000, alleged she had an affair with the married Trump in 2006-07. He denied it.

Cohen pleaded guilty, served prison time and was disbarred. Federal prosecutors never charged Trump with any crime.

Manhattan prosecutors have been examining whether any state laws were broken in connection with the payments or the way Trump's company compensated Cohen for his work to keep the women's allegations quiet.

Cohen and federal prosecutors said the company paid him $420,000 to reimburse him for the payment to Daniels and to cover bonuses and other supposed expenses. The company classified those payments internally as legal expenses.

Falsifying business records can be a misdemeanor under state law, or a felony if the fudging of paperwork is done in connection with a more serious crime.

Trump and his lawyers have said he was extorted into paying the money to Daniels and should be considered the victim in the investigation. Daniels and the lawyers who helped arrange the payment have denied extorting anyone.
