| Mega Thread: Unsealed Michael Cohen documents reportedly implicate Trump, Hicks, others in 'hush-money' payments Posted: 18 Jul 2019 09:44 AM PDT Court documents related to hush money payments arranged by President Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen were filed unsealed Thursday. The documents include a description of an Oct. 8, 2016, phone call Cohen received from Trump's campaign communications chief Hope Hicks, during which 'Trump joined the call,' which federal investigators believed was related to an effort to keep porn star Stormy Daniels from going public with her claims of having had sex with Trump a decade earlier. Hicks was interviewed by the FBI about the phone calls with Cohen, the documents indicate. The filing by federal prosecutors in New York came a day after the judge in Cohen's criminal case ordered their release, saying that the end of a probe into those payments meant they should be made public.
