President Trump gave a rambling, 30-minute phone interview with “Fox & Friends” on Thursday, in which he railed against the scandals that forced Trump’s personal physician Dr. Ronny Jackson to withdraw from consideration as veterans affairs secretary; boasted about firing former FBI Director James Comey; claimed he’d accomplished more than any other U.S. president in history during his first year in office; and admitted that his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen had represented him in the $130,000 nondisclosure deal with adult film star Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels.

President Donald Trump: “Michael would represent me, and represent me on some things. He represents me. Like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me.”

President Trump had previously claimed he knew nothing about the $130,000 nondisclosure agreement Cohen paid to Clifford only days before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
