good evening, i m ali velshi sitting in for lawrence o donnell. we have a very good last word for you. trump s tangled web. from russia collusion, to the president s tortured relationship with the truth. we ll look at it all over the course of this hour. the day began as a growing web of deceit between president and shifting stories between the president and rudy giuliani to clean up rudy giuliani s now-infamous fox news appearances. you ll remember he revealed that the president reimbursed michael cohen for the $130,000 hush money payment. there are new details that just broke within the last half an hour about when the president learned of that payment to stormy daniels. according to the new york times president trump knew about a six-figure payment that michael d. cohen, his personal lawyer, made to a pornographic film actress several months before he denied any knowledge of it to reporters aboard air force one in april, according to two people familiar with the arrange ....
