How Donald Trump's explanation of his role with Michael Cohen and the hush money has changed

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has been consistently inconsistent about Michael Cohen and hush money to alleged former mistresses.

Since spring, Trump has gone from denying knowledge of any payments to women who claim to have been mistresses to apparent acknowledgement of those payments – and claims they wouldn't be illegal in any case.

Trump went with the blanket denial amid initial news reports of a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. During an April 6 trip aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters they would "have to ask Michael Cohen" about the payments to the adult film actress.

In the months since, however, Trump has basically confirmed the payments, but said they are not illegal.
