The idiot is as unstable as they come and I agree w/ Michele Obama, that he's putting people at risk w/ his rhetoric and mutterings. He doesn't think long term what-so-ever, or just does not care about anyone else. Probably nothing new, but just thought good FYI. Take care.

Breaking, via @WSJ: Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have gathered evidence of Donald Trump's participation in payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal "that violated campaign-finance laws"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-played-central-role-in-hush-payoffs-to-stormy-daniels-and-karen-mcdougal-1541786601?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1

According to The Wall Street Journal, federal prosecutors have evidence that Trump directed his former fixer Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, and others to make payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougal. Trump previously denied knowledge of the payments.

This very detailed report reinforces that the president of the United States very likely lied to the public about his role in paying hush money to a porn star who alleged an affair with him, in possible violation of federal campaign finance law.

So.

This is both 1) not remotely surprising given Cohen's statement during his plea that Trump directed him to commit two felonies; and 2) a staggeringly big deal ->

WSJ: "Trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the agreements. He directed deals in phone calls and meetings with...Michael Cohen, and others. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has gathered evidence of Mr. Trump’s participation." https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-played-central-role-in-hush-payoffs-to-stormy-daniels-and-karen-mcdougal-1541786601

Remember, Mueller farmed this case to SDNY.

This refutes two years of denials by Trump, his legal team and his advisers.
