Cohen Admits To Misleading FEC On Trump Payment Source

Donald Trump Former U.S. President Trump's criminal trial over hush money payment, in New York City

During the recent court proceedings, Michael Cohen, a key figure in the Trump administration, admitted to certain wrongdoings under cross-examination. One of the key points raised was regarding the commission of grand larceny or larceny, to which Cohen acknowledged his involvement.

The focus then shifted to a letter that Cohen's attorney had sent to the FEC (Federal Election Commission) in 2018 concerning the payment made to Stormy Daniels. Cohen admitted that the information provided in the letter was misleading as it failed to mention that the payment was made by Mr. Trump or the Trump Trust, rather than the Trump Organization or campaign.

When questioned about the intention behind the misleading information in the letter, Cohen confessed that he did indeed intend for it to be misleading in that way. This revelation sheds light on the deliberate attempt to conceal the true source of the payment, implicating Mr. Trump and the Trump Trust.

The admission by Cohen raises further questions about the transparency and honesty of individuals within the Trump administration. It also underscores the importance of accountability and truthfulness in legal matters, especially when dealing with sensitive issues such as campaign finance and payments to individuals like Stormy Daniels.

As the legal proceedings continue, the revelations made by Cohen serve as a reminder of the complexities and controversies surrounding the Trump administration. The implications of these admissions may have far-reaching consequences and could potentially impact the political landscape in the months to come.
