@legalrocs@politico Cohen only said that neither the Trump campaign nor Trump organization paid. Trump could have personally paid. Trump paying would not be inconsistent with Cohen's statement because he only said that he used his funds to facilitate the payment. Artful drafting by Cohen.
@politico Cohen, for example, could have paid to set up the Delaware Co. that paid the funds, as I understand what happened, with the $130K coming from Trump personally. Politico: you should read these artful statements from lawyers more carefully.
@politico Cohen did not say that he paid the $130,000 out of his own funds. He said that he paid out of his own funds to facilitate the payment of $130,000. This is artful drafting. It could be that he merely paid something out of his funds to transmit the $130,000.
