      1. On Hannity, Giuliani says that Trump fired Comey because he wouldn't say publicly that he wasn't a target of the investigation. Giuliani added that he thought the Lester Holt interview went well.

      Every third thing Giuliani said is either obviously wrong on the law or on the facts, so, he’s not doing much better than Sekulow’s average interview.

      Chris Geidner Retweeted Rebecca Ballhaus

      This "follow up" makes no sense — and is backing everyone into a corner somehow. Was Cohen acting alone, paying out of his own money, and was later repaid, or was it an authorized settlement, in which case Cohen wouldn't have paid it out of his own funds in the first place?https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/991872529600950272 …

      NEW: Giuliani, asked how his statements tonight square w/Trump denial, tells @WSJ that Trump "probably was not aware" of payment when it was made. "Cohen was his lawyer and had discretion to settle, as I have had for clients ultimately paying for it." https://www.wsj.com/articles/giuliani-says-trump-repaid-cohen-for-stormy-daniels-payment-1525315656 …

      Giuliani tells me he just spoke w / POTUS. Tonight by phone. President "very pleased," Giuliani says. He says they discussed his revelation of the reimbursements long in advance. Does not expect to be fired. Insists his remarks on FNC were approved by Trump. Story TK.

          Returning to the idea that Rudy "says they discussed his revelation of the reimbursements long in advance." If so, why wouldn't they have told Hannity to help him prepare better? He had to come back to the topic to try and "clarify" things, unsuccessfully.

          Giuliani tells me Trump agreed to pay Cohen $35,000 a month over a year-long period that began in the 1st quarter of 2017 & carried into 2018. That is how the $130K was repaid, Giuliani says, adding, "I'm almost certain that there wasn't an itemized bill."https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/rudy-giuliani-says-trump-repaid-michael-cohen-for-the?utm_term=.koEegJ7xY#.plb5P2lwb …

          Were they repaid in a way to avoid bank reporting? Didn’t Dennis Hastert literally go to jail for structuring hush-money?
