Trump is a known liar. Cover-ups are exactly what he does: Today's talker
tulc("don't do cover ups")After storming out of a meeting with members of Congress on Wednesday, President Trump held a press conference where he began with the phrase "I don't do cover-ups." The truth is Trump's campaign and presidency have been filled with lies and cover-ups. Two of the most egregious examples are:
► Just days before the election in 2016, it was Trump who instructed his fixer Michael Cohen to funnel $130,000 in hush money to adult film star actress Stormy Daniels — money he reimbursed after taking office — in violation of campaign finance laws.
► When the news media first reported that senior members of the Trump's team — including Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner — secretly met with Russian operatives promising dirt on Hillary Clinton in Trump Tower during the campaign, also in violation of campaign finance laws, Trump reportedly dictated the misleading statement by Trump Jr. claiming the meeting was about adoption policy.
