‘That’s Not a Lie?!’ Ari Melber Throws Down with Trump Attorney over Hush Money Payment
EXCERPT:
TACOPINA: "Ari, that is — if that’s what you’re going to consider a lie — a lie to me is something material, under oath, in a proceeding."
MELBER: "I didn’t say perjury, I said a lie."
TACOPINA: "Yeah, but that’s not a lie.
MELBER: "That’s not a lie?"
TACOPINA: "Here's why it's not a lie."
MELBER: "That's not a lie?"
TACOPINA: "Here's why it's not a lie. Could you put the paper down? Put the paper down. Let me answer."
MELBER: "'Did you know about this?' 'No, I don't.'"
TACOPINA: "We don’t need that. Here’s why it’s not a lie. Because it was a confidential settlement. So, if he acknowledged that, he would be violating the confidential settlement. So, is it the truth? Of course it's not the truth. Was he supposed to tell the truth? He would be in violation of the agreement if he told the truth. So by him doing that, by him doing that, he was abiding by not only his rights but Stormy Daniels’ rights."
