During a recent court session, prosecutors introduced a February 2018 letter addressed to the Federal Election Commission as evidence. The letter, written by Michael Cohen's lawyer in response to an FEC complaint, sheds light on a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
In the letter, Cohen's lawyer stated that in a private transaction in 2016, prior to the U.S. presidential election, Cohen used his personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels. The letter explicitly mentioned that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign were involved in the transaction with Ms. Clifford. Furthermore, it emphasized that neither entity reimbursed Cohen for the payment, either directly or indirectly.
