Narrator: they're not playing it right
not a good look:
///////////////////
Rep. Hill: Did the president call you to coordinate on public messaging about the payments to Ms. Clifford in or around 2018?
Cohen: Yes.
Rep. Hill: What did the president ask you to say?
Cohen: He was not knowledgable of these reimbursements and he wasn't knowledgable of my actions.
Rep. Hill: He asked you to say that?
Cohen: Yes, ma'am.
Rep. Hill: Great. In addition to the personal check for $35,000 in July 2017, is there additional corroborating evidence that Mr. Trump directly reimbursed you hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws?
Cohen: There are 11 checks that I received for the year. The reason why 11 is because, as I stated before, one had two checks.
Rep. Hill: And you have copies of all of those?
Cohen: I can get copies. I would have to go to the bank.
Rep. Hill: So we will be able to get copies of all checks that Mr. Trump provided to you as part of this criminal scheme?
Cohen: It's either from his personal account—as what was demonstrated in the exhibit—or it would come from the Donald J. Trump account, the trust account.
Rep. Hill: Thank you, Mr. Cohen.
