>> did you know about the payments? did you know about the $130,000 payments to stormy daniels? >> no. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> i dont know. >> do you think theres a legal strategy behind giuliani revealing that the president did repay michael cohen? >> only if stupid is a strategy, no. what he did is give more exposure to the mount of the united states. remember, if it was a loan, it was still an excessive campaign contribution that needed to be reported to...
