“Hush money payments came from me” – Trump

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – United Sates (US) President Donald Trump has denied using election campaign finances to make payments to two women who say he had affairs with them.

It comes after his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to violating laws during the 2016 Presidential Election over his handling of the hush money.

In a television interview with Fox & Friends, Trump said the payments came from him personally, not from the campaign.

Earlier he accused Cohen of making up stories to receive a lighter sentence.
