George Conway mocks Trump on 'cover-ups' by tweeting Stormy Daniels payment check
Prominent Trump critic George Conway on Thursday posted a picture of President Trump’s $35,000 check to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, along with a quote from Trump’s Wednesday press conference: “I don’t do cover-ups.”
Cohen has testified that the check was partial reimbursement for the $130,000 he paid actress Stormy Daniels as hush money to cover up a sexual encounter she says she had with Trump. The money changed hands shortly before the 2016 election and was part of the evidence in Cohen’s plea deal with federal prosecutors that resulted in his prison sentence. Cohen has said he made the payment at Trump’s direction.
Conway is the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

On Wednesday, the president walked out of a White House meeting with congressional leaders, saying he couldn’t work with Democrats while they were pursuing investigations of his campaign and administration. Earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had said Trump’s refusal to cooperate with congressional investigations amounted to a “cover-up.”
