President Donald Trump, under federal investigation over
hush money to an alleged ex-mistress, said Thursday it has nothing to do with campaign finance laws – and appeared to acknowledge payments he previously said he knew nothing about.
"It was not a campaign contribution, and there were no violations of the campaign finance laws by me. Fake News!" Trump tweeted.
Trump has denied having an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels, and previously denied knowing about payments to her, referring questions about the matter to Michael Cohen – the ex-personal attorney who now says Trump authorized the payoffs.
