President Trump insists that he didn’t violate campaign finance laws and that any legal liability for hush money paid to two women who claimed to have had affairs with him rests with his former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen.
“I never directed him to do anything wrong,” Trump said Thursday afternoon in an interview with Fox News . “Whatever he did, he did on his own.”
Cohen was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison after pleading guilty to a variety of federal offenses, including arranging payments to an adult film actress and a former Playboy model to buy their silence over their alleged affairs with Trump.
The president has acknowledged arranging one payment before the 2016 election but denies having a relationship with either of the two women.
“Nobody except for me would be looked at like this,” Trump said Thursday.
