Megyn Kelly corners Michael Cohen’s lawyer over claim he paid $130k without telling Trump: ‘No one believes that’

In a lengthy and often combative interview with David Schwartz, the lawyer for longtime Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen, NBC host Megyn Kelly ripped the notion that Cohen paid adult film star $130,000 without consulting the president.

“The weird thing about this case though is Michael Cohen signed the deal, Donald Trump didn’t, and you are claiming that Michael Cohen … never ever told Donald Trump about it,” Kelly said. “And Michael Cohen dismissed $130,000 of his own money and never sought reimbursement from Donald Trump?”

“No one believes that,” Kelly continued.

Schwartz waxed poetic about the “dynamics of the relationship” between Cohen and Trump insisting that Cohen “chose not to go to the boss” about the Daniels payment.

“Why?” Kelly demanded.

“When Michael Cohen does come out, you’re going to find out the mechanics of that,” Schwartz insisted.

“You’re dodging—what’s the truth?” Kelly asked.

“The truth is, [Cohen] loves the boss,” Schwartz said.

“He did it out of love?!” an unbelieving Kelly replied.

Later in the interview, Kelly cornered Schwartz over his client’s history of vulgar threats towards her after he tried to argue Trump’s “fixer” would never have solicited an alleged threat made against Daniels.

“Michael Cohen does have a history of making vulgar and allegedly or arguably comments and I myself have been on the receiving end of that,” Kelly said. “As you know.”
