Oy Vey.
SCOOP: FBI has secret recording Michael Cohen made of conversation he had with Trump two months before the election in which they discussed payments to Playboy model Karen McDougal. w/@maggieNYT @mattapuzzo https://t.co/XX3XlkAcH1

Here’s what the NYT has to say about it:
The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.
The recording’s existence further draws Mr. Trump into questions about tactics he and his associates used to keep aspects of his personal and business life a secret. And it highlights the potential legal and political danger that Mr. Cohen represents to Mr. Trump. Once the keeper of many of Mr. Trump’s secrets, Mr. Cohen is now seen as increasingly willing to consider cooperating with prosecutors.
Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, confirmed in a telephone conversation on Friday that Mr. Trump had discussed the payments with Mr. Cohen on the tape but said the payment was ultimately never made. He said the recording was less than two minutes and demonstrated that the president had done nothing wrong.
Ooookaaaay then.
So, about these tapes…
Need quotes from the recording. Or the recording itself. https://t.co/FsdsdQWRne

Also would need to know if the recording was before or after the payments were made.

Doesn’t matter. The Left is losing their SH*T:
Donald Trump’s day so far:
– Lordy there are tapes!
– Michael Cohen taped Trump discussing payoff to Karen McDougal
– FBI and Mueller have the tape
– Rudy Giuliani admits tape is real
– It’s all hitting the fan
– We’re going to need a bigger fan
– It’s still only 1pm— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) July 20, 2018
Wonder what tapes Michael Cohen has on Sean Hannity…

Michael Cohen’s tapes proving Trump slept with and bribed Karen McDougal isn’t enough. Let us know when there are tapes proving Trump was in bed with Vladamir Putin.
For the GOP, cheating on your wife is easy to defend. It’s much harder to defend cheating on your country.

And there is a reason why I used the term that I did and demanded the release of the #TrumpTapes as opposed to the #TrumpTape. If Michael Cohen is a patriot, then ALL of the tapes should be released to the American people. Now. Too much is at stake. #Basta

There are MORE recordings Michael Cohen had of the president in his records that were seized by the FBI, according to Rudy Giuliani and a source with knowledge of Cohen’s tapes. @DanaBashCNN @cnnbrk

A source also tells our @DanaBashCNN & @GloriaBorger that upon learning of the tapes, Trump remarked, “I can’t believe Michael would do this to me.” https://t.co/ocJFGYqo7d
