Trump Approved Misleading Statement In Stormy Daniels Case

During the recent court proceedings, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented compelling evidence that sheds light on the involvement of key individuals in the Stormy Daniels case. Text messages between Michael Cohen and Maggie Haberman of the New York Times in February 2018 were brought to the forefront, revealing a significant exchange.

In one text, Cohen informed Haberman that the 'Big boss' had approved his response to a complaint and statement. This message suggests that Trump himself had given the green light for a misleading statement that claimed the Trump Organization and the Trump campaign were not part of the transaction between Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

Furthermore, Steinglass highlighted another crucial text, this time from Jay Sekulow to Cohen via Signal. The message read, 'Client says thanks for what you do.' This communication implies a level of gratitude from Trump towards Cohen for his actions.

These text messages provide a glimpse into the inner workings of the individuals involved in the Stormy Daniels case and raise questions about the extent of Trump's knowledge and approval of certain statements and actions. The revelations in court have added a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding this high-profile case.
