I know youve heard this tape already, which initially aired on cnn but has been authenticated by nbc news. we cannot confirm whether the tape was edited or altered, but we want to replay this one section for you. it is critical to the conversation were about to have. donald trump, michael cohen, september 2016, just a couple months before the election. the two appear to casually discuss a payment to keep a playboy model quiet about an alleged affair, karen mcdougal. she was paid $150,000 by the ...

For the next month before the election. then it is a campaign finance issue. and i think that is really important. >> do you have any sense of why donald trump through michael cohen would want to buy the rights of the story, if ami, the parent company of "national enquirer" was already protecting the president. >> if you own the rights to a story, then it is your story, and you can make sure it never gets out. this is one explanation. but ultimately, the rights were made by ami, and they never r...

That they buy the rights from david pecker just to be on the safe side. just to have this material certainly in his hands rather than amis hands. one month after karen mcdougal who claims she had a ten-month affair. she cant talk anything about it. and interestingly that trump friendly publisher sits on the story and does not with it either. here is what is weird to me. what it appears is the claim about the context of this, is it is not about stormy daniels, it is about karen mcdougal. and they...

>> let me bring in john flanery. when you look at everything that you heard. what is the legal significance. >> in terms of the law, the campaign violations are obvious, i thought the time story before the quote that you had was significant. it shows knowledge of both men, cohen and trump, was what ami is doing with play mate mcdougal. said he, should we buy her story directly, or should we buy it from ami? that, then the question is, pay in a check or cash. he is to do it by check. strikes me a...

Campaign? then you get into some of the legal complexities. but the coordination aspect of it that we are learning about tonight is very, very important to a potential case for campaign finance fraud. >> on that briefly daniel walk us through what it means when we are learning that the fed are subpoenaing the national enquirer. what are they seeking to get on that side? >> they are certainly seeking to get the communications that ami had with the trump campaign, the trump organization, michael c...

Does this look like scummy undernd thatted secret dealings with the enquirer or do you see legal exposure? >> you and i have spoken before about how the enquirer and the stormy daniels case can all fit together with karen mcdougal and how the evidence of one deal may impact the other one and ultimately help to build a case of campaign finance violations. now we are learning exactly what we were wondering before, which is there appears to have been some coordination between cohen on behalf of tru...

Hearing about between trump and cohen is maybe we should buy thesis rights from ami. he didnt want anybody to know about this. >> rudy giuliani the presidents lawyer confirmed the recordings to "the new york times" saying the conversation was less than two minutes long. "the wall street journal" confirming tonight it was taped in person. quote, the payment was never made, adding if mr. trump had told mr. cohen to write a check rather than send cash so it could be properly documented. you know so...

Of dino sajudin, went into this agreement back in 2015. he has a salacious story that he claims the president was involved in an extramarital affair that led to the birth of a child. he was paid $30,000 to keep quiet. now, other news organizations have investigated this story and have not found it credible, but the big takeaway here is, is that now sajudin has been released from this contract, that ami has told him he no longer has to keep quiet and thats why hes coming forward with the story. w...
