When the Access Hollywood tape dropped in October 2016, Cohen said he became very concerned about the impact it could have on Trump’s presidential election.

"He wanted me to reach out to all of my contacts in the media -- we needed to put a spin on this. And the spin that he wanted to put on it was that this is locker room talk," Cohen testified.

Cohen said Trump told him the "locker room talk" defense was "something that Melania had recommended" they use "in order to get control over the story and minimize its impact on him and his campaign."

"Women will hate me. Guys may think it’s cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign," Cohen testified that Trump said.

I would bet a dollar against a doughnut that Melania had to tell *rump the bolded part as well, otherwise he would be clueless about women being offended.

2. Cohen testified that *rump didn't pay the hush money for Melania's sake

*rump didn't think he would be on the market long if Melania left him.
