Stormy Daniels' lawyer 'stunned' by Giuliani's comments on Trump repayment

President Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, says the president reimbursed attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels as part of a non-disclosure agreement. Daniels alleges she had sex with Mr. Trump in 2006, which Mr. Trump denies. Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss why he sees this as a "clear example" that the president has been lying, how the revelations could make their case stronger, and Daniels' reaction to Giuliani's comments.

WHAT?

Trump has consistently denied knowing anything about ANY payment. What did he reimburse him for?

[NPak-cwny]

Here is an example of why it is important to do your homework and why media perpetuates the problem.

LOL... Russian bots and Trolls are in full force supporting Trump in these comments!

[shannkaray]

Love Avenatti for exposing the cover up.

[adam_p]

Avenatti is formidable and I’m loving it

What about Senator Al Franklen the ex comedian he had to resign due to the pic of him (acting) like he was grabbing tities. And he took that pic way before he was a senator . If he had to resign than so should Trump.

my god, stop interrupting him!! jesus...

Trump supporters will say, "So what's the big deal?". This will have zero impact on their opinion of him.

Fox and Friends will put the last nail on Trump's coffin

Trump and his henchmen have been getting away with crap like this for decades. Now, they've finally met their match and they can't believe their lies and intimidation aren't working anymore.

[houroflove]

Every time I see Michael Avenatti speak I get all excited but I still have my fingers crossed!

[braddonley]

I thought the campaign finance violation came from what the payment was for, not where the money came from. Since the payment helped the Trump campaign, it was an "in kind" campaign contribution. Correct?

[jameschampaco]

"Stunned" - at this point, I dont think Avenatti can be "stunned" by anything Trump does or will do. LOL - This presidency is a joke. Can you imagine if Obama or Hillary were involved in a FRACTION of all this?..Geezus the GOP would be crying anf burning

[losangelesoo]

Is the wall still happening asking for a friend

[PhoenixProdLLC]

Guliani may have just proved to be an accidental American hero.

[mumbaijazz]

Trump has broken campaign finance laws and is lying in the most improbable and hilarious fashion !

[richardsmart]

'Cause obviously anyone would give someone $130, 000 to KEEP QUIET ABOUT SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED, wouldn't they?

[ivoneowl]

Michael Avenatti, "The Legal Eagle"!!

[wanderingquestions]

So the contract is void. Trump reimbursed, admits his involvement via Cohen, but Trump didnt sign the agreement.

0:22 -- Notice that Dan Scavino (the real author of Dumbo Donald's tweets that have a modicum of grammatical veracity) is now calling Cohen "AN attorney" rather than what Dumbo Donald called him on the Air Force One interview - "Michael Cohen is MY attorney"...
Soon, it will be "Michael-Who? Oh, he was just the coffee boy..."
