Damning testimony from Michael Cohen [View all]

But I'm not talking about Trump, I'm talking about the media!

On November 4, 2016 (4 days before the election), the Wall Street Journal broke the story about Karen McDougal, and Stormy Daniels was also mentioned in that story.

The Trump campaign was in meltdown, as Cohen and Hicks frantically messaged each other over it, trying desperately to come up with a damage control strategy.

The media response at the time? Ho-hum. CNN didn't even bother reporting it.
