White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said on Monday that President Donald Trump does not believe porn actress Stormy Daniels’ claim in a “60 Minutes” interview that she was threatened in 2011 not to share the details of her alleged relationship with Trump.
“The president doesn’t believe any of the claims that Ms Daniels made last night in the interview are accurate,” Shah said in the daily press briefing when asked about the alleged threat made against Daniels.
Asked for the basis of Trump’s belief, Shah said that “there’s nothing to corroborate her claim.”
Though Shah shared Trump’s thoughts on the interview, he would not confirm that the President watched the interview that aired on CBS Sunday evening.

WH On Stormy Daniels Payment: ‘This Is Nothing Outside The Ordinary’
By Nicole Lafond | March 26, 2018 2:53 pm
Responding to questions about the $130,000 payment that President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer gave Stormy Daniels to reportedly keep her quiet about an affair, White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah on Monday said there was nothing unusual about the sum, claiming “false charges are settled outside of court all the time.”
“You can have (Trump’s attorney) Michael Cohen address any specifics regarding this agreement you are referring to, but false charges are settled outside of court all the time and this is nothing outside the ordinary,” Shah said.
When pressed specifically about what the $130,000 case had to do with false claims, Shah repeated the line again, pinning the payment on Cohen.
Shah’s response on Monday was the first acknowledgment the White House has given of the payment, which Cohen has admitted he made. Cohen claims he paid Daniels the money out of his own volition, not on behalf of Trump. Trump has denied the affair ever happened.

BTW “false charges are settled outside of court all the time.” 
If the Trump and his legal team still don't understand that Ms. Clifford and her lawyer*
have proof that they are holding back after last night's 60 minutes then they are clueless.

The answer?
"At the moment, it will always be the best information we have at that time."
However, considering the credibility of the primary source for the White House spokespersons, there should be no question that nothing they say will ever remotely reflect any kind of truth.
And 'we the people' pay all of them.
