Asked about whether he knew about the Cohen payment last month by reporters on Air Force One, Trump replied "no" and "I don't know.".
Giuliani also cast the payment as a normal aspect of the way Trump used Cohen, suggesting it was typical for the president to repay his lawyer for expenses that incurred.
Trump on Thursday morning also defended the payment as a nondisclosure agreement that was "common among celebrities and people of wealth."

FBI agents raided Cohen's office last month, reportedly searching for records related to the payment to Daniels, among other things.
Cohen has said that he made the payment, but that it was made with money out of his own pocket.
Trump admitted that Cohen had represented him in the arrangement with Daniels during an interview with "Fox & Friends," but that he didn't know about the payment. »
