During a recent court proceeding, Michael Cohen revealed that he paid money to Stormy Daniels to prevent her story from affecting Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Cohen stated that the payment was made to ensure that the information would not be made public and potentially harm Trump's chances of winning the election.
When questioned by prosecutor Susan Hoffinger about the motive behind the payment, Cohen admitted that it was directly related to the election. He confirmed that he would not have made the payment if it were not for the campaign. This admission sheds light on the strategic decision-making process that was in play during that time.
