The husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway took a veiled shot at President Trump following revelations the president repaid his longtime attorney, Michael Cohen, for the $130,000 given to former adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
George Conway, a lawyer who removed his name from consideration for a top Justice Department post, tweeted Thursday a link to the Federal Election Commission’s web page for handling personal loans from a candidate for federal office.
Conway included in his tweet a screenshot from the page, which explained what is not considered the candidate’s personal funds.

“If any person, including a relative or friend of the candidate, gives or loans the candidate money ‘for the purpose of influencing any election for federal office,’ the funds are not considered personal funds of the candidate even if they are given to the candidate directly. Instead, the gift or loan is considered a contribution from the donor to the campaign, subject to the per-election limit and reportable by the campaign. This is true even if the candidate uses the funds for personal living expenses while campaigning,” the passage highlighted by Conway states.
Conway’s tweet comes after Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and a member of Trump’s legal team, told Fox News on Wednesday that Trump reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Daniels.
