President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani responded to CNN’s release of a recording of the president and his former attorney Michael Cohen by rebutting those who said Trump was telling Cohen to pay Playboy model Karen McDougal in cash. “It’s a little bit hard to hear, but I assure you that we listened to it numerous, numerous times, and the transcript makes it quite clear at the end that President Trump says, quote, ‘Don’t pay with cash,’” Giuliani told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. He also countered Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis’ calls to the CNN audience to hear the evidence for themselves. “Go online. Listen to your broadcast… The third time you play it, it’ll become clear,” Giuliani said. Davis gave CNN the recording of Trump and Cohen talking about the “financing” for paying off McDougal. The Playboy model was paid $150,000 by the National Enquirer to “catch and kill” her story about her affair with the president before he took office.
