Trump Implicated In More Criminal Activity After Cohen Documents Released

Donald Trump has been implicated in more criminal activity following the unsealing of FBI files on his former lawyer Michael Cohen. The papers clearly show that Trump, along with Hope Hicks, coordinated the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels through Michael Cohen, and they also worked with David Pecker at The National Enquirer to bury the negative stories about Trump’s affairs. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses these revelations.

Yesterday, Judge William Pauley decided that he was going to unseal court documents related to Michael Cohen that apparently have directly implicated both Donald Trump and Hope Hicks in the Stormy Daniels hush money payment and cover up. This would mean if these documents are to be believed that both Donald Trump and Hope Hicks were accomplices to this massive campaign finance fraud. They knew about it according to these new documents. They helped to cover it up. There were multiple different phone calls that took place and even got to the point according to these documents, the FBI was involved in investigating this. And that's actually where a lot of this information came from, was from actual FBI agents. And here's just one, one thing I want to read off of here because this is just remarkable, the chain of events that happened. Because at the time, you know, Hope Hicks was basically working as a glorified assistant for Donald Trump.

She was like Michael Cohen, except without the law degree. She was this fixer. And so the documents detail this chain of phone calls that took place with Michael Cohen, David Pecker, uh, from The National Enquirer, Trump and Hope Hicks. Here's how one of the chains went. This was October 8th, 2016, uh, after a phone call, Cohen received from Hope Hicks during which Trump join the call. Hicks then had a separate call with Michael Cohen, who minutes later called David Pecker. Then Cohen was called by Howard, Pecker's lieutenant. Cohen called Hicks. Then got a call from Pecker and then called Trump with that final call lasting eight minutes according to the documents. And this was all right around the time that all of this news was about to break again, we're talking October 8th, 2016 a month before the 2016 presidential election. Everybody I just mentioned in this little chain of phone calls that took place over a span of about an hour.

They were all panicking because Stormy Daniels was about to go public. Uh, the Karen McDougal, the playboy playmate, a fair story that was about to go public. The Access Hollywood tape had just come out. They knew that any one of these other affairs of the president coming out would be disastrous. And that's what they were all coordinating there and it worked for them. Stormy Daniel's story didn't come out till well after the election, Karen McDougal, same thing. And with the McDougal story, which has been a grossly overshadowed by the Stormy Daniel story, it's still just as important. The National Enquirer, they're their media group. They're owned by David Pecker. They paid her $150,000 to not come forward and pay a and tell her story, excuse me. So that would also be another in kind campaign contribution that The National Enquirer is involved in. That whole pics was also involved in that Michael Cohen was also involved in and that Donald Trump was also involved in.

Now, a lot of this is stuff we actually did already know, but we did not know the chain of command. We did not know necessarily that Hope Hicks was directly involved in it.
