Turley: Giuliani Admission on Stormy Payment ‘Actually Makes Things a Lot Worse for Cohen’

EXCERPT:

TURLEY: "You don’t accept legal fees, call them legal fees when they’re really a subterfuge for paying off a porn star. It doesn’t get you — it doesn’t get you out of the campaign finance problem and it actually makes things a lot worse for Cohen. Because once again, lawyers don’t do this. And so I’m not even sure what the intelligent design was supposed to be behind the comments, but I do think that what we may be seeing is something we’ve been waiting for, and that is the President is going to have to tack back from many of his public statements. He’s now going into a formal litigation posture. And many of these past denials cannot stand in depositions or grand juries or whatever forum he finds himself in. So this may be the painful process of tacking the ship to turn it, you know, 180 degrees away from past statements. And they’re going to have to do more of this and it could be even more painful to watch.”
