Busted, you orange idiot.
Donald Trump and his former personal attorney/cohort Michael Cohen have been caught on audio having an interesting conversation.
The recording, which was obtained by CNN, reveals their talk that took place a few months before the US elections.
The topic of discussion? Certainly not about the ‘Babes For Trump’ Instagram account.
Instead, they were caught discussing the deets of paying former Playboy model Karen McDougal for the story about her affair with the now-US president, reports The Daily Beast.
In other words, “Stormy Daniels: The Sequel” is about to go down.
Take a listen to their convo, starting about the 0:45 mark – don’t worry, we won’t judge you if you face-slap yourself several times throughout:

Is your face sore after this? Yup, same here.
The report focused on what was said at the tail-end of the recording:
“I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David,” Cohen is heard saying on the recording, referring to David Pecker, head of American Media.
That company owns the National Enquirer, which paid McDougal $150 000 [R1,9 million] to “catch and kill” her story.
Trump then interrupts Cohen in the recording, asking, “What financing?” Cohen responds that they would “have to pay,” to which Trump is heard responding “pay with cash.” Cohen is heard saying “no, no” before the tape cuts short.
*Whistles* Ooh, Donny boy, you’ve got some explaining to do.
Of course, the bone of contention lies with whether or not the yellow-haired man really did say he’d pay McDougal in cash.
His attorney/right-hand man, Rudy Giuliani, clarified the matter while speaking to Laura Ingham on Trump’s personal TV network … er, I mean Fox News:
GIULIANI: “When I urge people to do is go online and listen to your broadcast. Play it 3 times. The third time you play it, it will become clear…I have dealt with much worse tapes than this.” pic.twitter.com/SROqROG161

Well, that still does little to alleviate my doubts.
The fact that Trump and Cohen were having this conversation in the first place is disturbing enough for me.
Either way, I see top dollar hush money to be paid out in the near future.
