President Donald Trump's former campaign official Steve Cortes tried to fact-check CNN's Chris Cuomo during his Tuesday night show.
Cuomo did not take lightly to his correction and quickly hammered him over the real facts. Cortes claimed that Cuomo was "misrepresenting the facts" when he played a video detailing payments made to Karen McDougal.
"We have to be very careful about the facts here. Chris, when you keep playing that tape, you're misrepresenting the facts because that tape is talking about the payments to Karen McDougal which were made by American Media and assuming that it's David Pecker in that tape," Cortes said.
He added, "The fact of the matter is neither Trump nor Cohen ever paid them. So you're conflating two stories. The Stormy Daniels payment is totally different from the Karen McDougal payment. So Trump can truthfully say that he didn't know about that."
"No. No. No." Cuomo said. "I give you that they are different payments. I never said anything else, by the way. I've always represented that was about Karen McDougal and David Pecker.
Cuomo added, "And also, you're assuming that David Pecker doesn't say the same thing that Michael Cohen does. You'd better check your facts. However, the point remains the same."
