This $35,000 check was one of 11 check installments that was paid throughout the year -- while he was President. Other checks to reimburse me for the hush money payments were signed by Don Jr. and Allen Weisselberg. See, for example, Exhibit 5B.

A source familiar with Michael Cohen's prepared testimony to Congress provided CNN with a copy of a $35,000 check President Donald Trump allegedly sent to Michael Cohen. There's nothing written on the check to specify its purpose. However, Cohen's prepared testimony submitted to Congress and obtained by CNN says the check reimbursed him for hush money payments to silence Stormy Daniels about her alleged affair with Trump. Trump denies having an affair with Daniels.
