President Trump said a simple private transaction made by his former attorney was not a campaign contribution.
In a tweet Monday, the president said Democrats have failed to find a “smoking gun” in the Russia investigation, which he said it because there was no collusion.
He went on to say the payment made by Michael Cohen was done properly, and if a mistake was made the liability would be on Cohen.
The president accused his former personal lawyer of falsely stating the payment was a campaign contribution in order to get his sentence reduced.
“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun…No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,…

….which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s – but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!
