After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.


AT&T confirms they paid Michael Cohen for consulting.


The Daily Beast says it can confirm that Michael Cohen received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a company controlled by Putin-aligned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg.

We have reached out to AT&T and Novartis about Avenatti’s claim that they paid Cohen $200K and $400K respectively. If they didn’t pay him, it seems very easy to put all this to rest. But if they did, in fact, wire money to the president’s lawyer’s secret LLC … buckle up folks.
