MSNBC host Ari Melber and Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, got into a heated exchange during a Tuesday interview while discussing whether Trump lied about a $130,000 wire payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
"I want to get the benefit of your response," Melber, who is also a former attorney, said to Tacopina. Armed with a New York Times report, Melber quoted, "'Prosecutors could argue that $130,000 became a donation to Trump's campaign under the theory the money was silencing Daniels.'"
