President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.
The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.

“And it was recorded why? For future black mail?”
Never trust a Capo lawyer. Cohen will stab the President in the back to save his own worthless a$$.
Let me get this straight. Trump is the victim of Blackmail, but he is the Criminal? What?

Russia, last week SCOTUS pick, week before porn star, week before immigration, week before Russia, week before North Korea, and it goes on and on and on.
Soon we will be back to taxes, and he hates women.
Yet again the left has overplayed their hand just like Occupy, BLM etc.
They do not have a message. It is all about hate Trump, impeach, make him a weak sitting President even if it ruins the country or starts a war with Russia, or North Korea.
a payment that was never made..
We have no real rights of any kinds. At best they are licenses, granted and revoked at the whim of the state. Like a fishing license.
Gotcha.
The old ‘ham sandwich’/show us the man, we’ll show you the crime evidence.
Wouldn’t the crime be on the person demanding money to keep her big mouth shut; assuming there is a crime?
Oh, yeah, Lanny Davis. One of the sleaziest political operatives on the planet. What’d he do, get Cohen an immunity deal to sink Trump? That’s becoming SOP with Mueller and his cohort. Won’t work, but thanks for playing.
Paging Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, “attorney-client privilege” alert!
Yep, he’s not afraid to mix it up, and I think he’d go all in.
They are trying to stretch this into a violation of campaign financing laws. Complete BS, just like the “emoluments” nonsense.
Well, that party changes depending on who sits in the Oval Office. In the 90s it was the Democrat party that didn't care. Today it's the Republicans who don't care about philandering.
Trump needs to MAKE SURE he is disbarred for this, OMG Cohen is through as an attorney his clients are going to rid themselves of this guy SO FAST he won’t know what the hell hit him!!! NO ONE will ever trust this ASSHAT to abide by the privilege he is sworn to!!! UNBELIEVABLE I am STUNNED by this, how in the HELL does the FBI have the right to destroy the attorney privilege Cohen is sworn to uphold!!! These BASTARDS are OUT OF CONTROL this government has become BEYOND frightening!!!!
Hearsay and propaganda.
