President Trump grew frustrated with Sean Hannity after the Fox News host’s interview last week with Rudy Giuliani, The Associated Press reported.
Trump was reportedly bothered that Hannity used the word “funneled” when describing a payment Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to adult-film start Stormy Daniels as part of a non-disclosure agreement.
On Hannity’s show last week, Giuliani claimed that Cohen’s $130,000 payment did not constitute a campaign finance law violation.
“Because they funneled it through a law firm?” Hannity asked.
“Funneled it through a law firm, and the president repaid him,” Giuliani said.
“I didn’t know that,” Hannity responded.
The revelation that Trump reimbursed Cohen contradicted the president’s past statement that he was unaware of the $130,000 payment or where the money for it came from.
The president has since acknowledged that he paid Cohen a monthly retainer, which he said was used to cover the cost of the payment to Daniels.
