When questioned about others making payoffs , he said it was the only direct payoff from trump he knew about, not all payoffs made, and his other lawyer Kazowitz it was said by Bannon I think he made hundreds of payoffs. Did Cohen know about those? Or others who made payoffs for him like Pecker did? Cohen uses words very carefully leaving an excuse he can use latter, or an out. I think he knows a lot about collusion, and not willing in public to expose that yet.

with Russia on Trump's part - he was there for other matters.

When he was asked on some other matters, Cohen simply said that was not his to elaborate, it was the job of other entities such as the SDNY.
