Ex-President Donald Trump wasn’t thinking about his wife Melania Trump while trying to conceal porn star Stormy Daniels’ extramarital affair story, his former lawyer claimed.
Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen, the star witness in his hush money trial, discussed the deal he executed with Daniels to silence her on her alleged affair during the 2016 presidential campaign.
‘Don’t worry, he goes how long do you think I’ll be on the market for? Not long,’ Cohen said on the witness stand, referring to Trump.
‘He wasn’t thinking about Melania. This was all about the campaign.’

Trump shook his head and smirked as Cohen mentioned his wife, reported CNN.
The hush payment to Daniels is at the center of Trump’s historic trial at Manhattan Criminal Court.
Prosecutors argue that Trump falsified business records to cover reimbursing to Cohen for a $130,000 payment he made to Daniels to silence her on the alleged affair just before the 2016 presidential election.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied an affair with Daniels.
