During his testimony, Michael Cohen revealed that the 2018 letter sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) regarding the Stormy Daniels hush money payment was intentionally misleading. Cohen stated that the letter contained a 'true statement' but was crafted in a way to protect Mr. Trump and maintain loyalty.
Cohen clarified that the letter implied that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign were involved in the payment, distancing Mr. Trump himself from the situation. This deliberate act was aimed at safeguarding Trump's reputation and ensuring a consistent message was conveyed.
