President Donald Trump seems to have acknowledged that his personal lawyer Michael Cohen represented him in a deal involving adult film star Stormy Daniels.

During a Thursday interview with Fox News, Trump said Cohen represented him in what Trump called the "crazy Stormy Daniels deal."

Earlier this month, Trump told reporters he didn't know anything about the $130,000 payment made to Daniels just before Election Day in 2016.

Cohen paid Clifford just before the election. Daniels and her legal team allege that money was to keep her quiet about an affair she claims she had with Trump in 2006.
