In a bit of a surprise, Stormy Daniels met with prosecutors in the hush money case on Wednesday. What wasn't a surprise? Trump's subsequent tantrum over it. (via MaddowBlog)
As a grand jury hears testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money scandal, the expectation was that yesterday’s most notable witness would be Michael Cohen. Those expectations were sensible: Cohen was Trump’s “fixer” who took the lead in orchestrating the infamous payment to Stormy Daniels, and yesterday was the lawyer’s final appearance before the grand jury.
“I did NOTHING wrong in the ‘Horseface’ case. I see she showed up in New York today trying to drum up some publicity for herself. I haven’t seen or spoken to her since I took a picture with her on a golf course, in full golf gear including a hat, close to 18 years ago. She knows nothing about me other than her conman lawyer, Avanatti, and convicted liar and felon, jailbird Michael Cohen, may have schemed up. Never had an affair with her, just another false acquisition by a SleazeBag.
There was all kinds of nonsense packed into this statement, but of particular interest was the Republican’s suggestion that the porn star “showed up in New York” in order to “drum up some publicity for herself.” That didn’t make any sense. For one thing, Daniels wasn’t in New York: NBC News confirmed that she was in Florida and the meeting with the Manhattan district attorney’s office was held online. For another, this was not a publicity stunt: Daniels’ lawyerThe same statement from Trump referred to Michael Avenatti as Daniels’ “conman lawyer.
