Glad that George pushed back on some of how Giuliani was characterizing what he'd told me. The interview also included this doozy of a line — leaving Stephanopoulos slack-jawed:pic.twitter.com/P40nCs9Bpy

One note: At the end of the clip above, Giuliani starts to distinguish between Trump agreeing to re-pay "expenses" v. knowing that he was repaying for the Stormy Daniels payment specifically. I do agree with him that this is the position he is taking — and has taken with me.

Sure, but...is it remotely believable that a lawyer would make binding agreements on behalf of his client without even telling his client about the existence or content of said agreements? Using money from a retainer in his trust account?

Replying to @purplechrain
He wasn’t using money from a retainer in his trust account. After the fact, once the payment was made, Trump agreed to pay $35,000/mo, to repay expenses and offset taxes and interest, plus leave some profit (per RG). So. I mean, the whole arrangement is not ... usual.
