Cooper is trying to say the $130,000 was a campaign contribution. LOL!
Michael Avenatti is Stormy's lawyer. From his wiki page:
"While in college and later in law school, Avenatti worked at a political opposition and media firm, The Research Group, run by Rahm Emanuel (later White House Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama, and mayor of Chicago). Avenatti worked on over 150 campaigns in 42 states, including multiple gubernatorial and congressional campaigns and Joe Biden’s U.S. Senate campaign.
COOPER: How do we know you're telling the truth?
STORMY: Because I have no reason to lie.
ANOTHER LIE!
